Basket Interference???

[tw1ns]

I guess the question is whether the ball was IN the cylinder or ON the rim when the contact occured? Correct?

The OP states the ball was in the cylinder above the basket. Per the OP, I have nothing.

... Mythbusters.

A player cannot touch the ball, ring, or net while the ball is on the ring or within the basket. A player cannot touch the ball if it is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring. These are examples of basket interference. It is legal to touch the ring or the net if the ball is above the ring and not touching the ring, even if the ball is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring. It is legal to hang on the ring if a player is avoiding an injury to himself or herself or another player.

I had a T for this earlier this year.

Well, not directly, but ultimately....as the coach was going on and on about not calling BI. He said some magic words and I ended his sentence with a letter T.
