They show the replay and it is even more clear that the SC player touched it after it hit the backboard. He still said they missed it and that it was on the way up.

Hitting the ball after it has hit the backboard doesn't necessarily equate to an automatic goaltending call. Was the whole ball completely above the ring when it first touched the backboard? If not, you may want to look up new NCAA rule 4-34-3.

Yes, it was above the ring. He wasn't arguing that anyway. He said that the ball wasn't on the way down, which it didn't matter because it was above the ring when it hit the backboard and it was above the ring when it was touched by the defense.
