Your post made it seem like the pertinent factor was that the ball was still travelling upwards.
If the ball is below the rim in the NBA? Yes, the pertinent factor would be if the ball is on its upward flight.

The defense can only touch the ball if it doesn't have a chance to score. So if we want to relate to when the defense can touch the ball if it's below the level of the rim in the NBA? If it's on its downward flight.

At that point it is a missed shot. And I know of no level in which it would be a goaltend.

I agree, the ball wouldn't have a chance to be scored at that point.

Correct call...the ball was not entirely above the level of the rim so it can't be GT.

Ball looks like it is in contact with the rim when B1 makes the block.

OK. Are you suggesting it should be BI? If so, contact with the rim may be a good rule of thumb most of the time, but it isn't an entirely accurate interpretation of the actual rule. The BI rule requires the ball be "on" the basket (within is not relevant to this discussion). To me, that means "on", not beside and certainly not under. Until that ball is entirely above he rim and laying on the rim, I'm not considering that "on" the basket.

I don't believe the ball was contacted while the ball was on the rim or had the rim as its lower base.
