BI/GT Refresher Please?
I realized while watching a game locally that I am not 100% confident in my basket interference and goaltending application. My rulebooks is currently on loan to an official at an out of town tournament, and I would like to make sure I do have this right before I have two good, high-flying teams tomorrow night.
Goaltending only occurs when the ball is above the rim and in its downward flight. A ball can be blocked after hitting the backboard, as long as the ball is still moving upwards.Am I missing something or do I have these correct? I just felt unsure when I was asked by someone earlier about whether I would have called a BI or not. Thanks all... |

It has to be completely clear of the vertical walls of the cylinder (can't be a plane since it is a curved shape ) to be fair game. If ANY part of the ball is still in the cylinder, it would be BI.

So in other words, regardless of falling out off the rim if the ball is in contact with any part of the top of the rim, it would be BI? Was I perhaps thinking of an NCAA or NBA rule with the ball falling off is fair game?

NBA interpretation, if the ball is falling of the edge of the rim, then it's not offensive basket interference or goaltending if committed by the defense (NBA distinctions...or what we'd consider BI under NFHS rules).

Not just in contact with the rim but it is BI if the ball it touched while any part of the ball is directly above any part of the rim.

Who You Gonna Call ???
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. The backboard has nothing to do with goaltending. Goaltending when a player touches the ball during a try, or tap, while it is in its downward flight, entirely above the basket ring level and has the possibility of entering the basket. On most layups, the ball is going up after it contacts the backboard. It is legal to pin the ball against the backboard if it still on the way up and not in the imaginary cylinder above the basket. Slapping the backboard is neither basket interference nor is it goaltending and points cannot be awarded. A player who strikes a backboard, during a tap, or a try, so forcefully that it cannot be ignored because it is an attempt to draw attention to the player, or a means of venting frustration, may be assessed a technical foul. When a player simply attempts to block a shot and accidentally slaps the backboard it is neither a violation nor is it a technical foul.
