Tim Brando's been doing it for 30 years, and referred to an offensive BI call the other night (player hanging from rim as the ball is in the cylinder) as offensive goaltending.

I think that some might do this on purpose. Fans have never heard of basket interference. Of course, that could be corrected if they started talking about it...

That reminds me. Thursday night A1 (big, strong, long arms) gets ball on baseline. Goes strong to the basket to dunk. B1 fouls him before A1's reaches the rim. Ball comes loose, A1 hangs on the rim, while A1 has ring collapsed the ball lands on back iron then falls through the basket. Lead handled everything: got foul, waved off basket, immediately indicated 2 shots.
