BI on Joakim Noah (video)

The NCAA GT rule reads differently from NFHS and NBA. So that helps things.

While the rules are generally the same for all three levels, there are differences:

NFHS:

All that matters is if it's a try and the ball on its downward flight and a chance to go in. Ball can be contacted off the glass if the ball is still on its upward flight. Also BI applies on a throw-in

NCAA:

Must be a try and the ball on its downward flight and a chance to go in. The ball can not be contacted after it's touched the glass above the level of the rim with a chance to go in. BI applies on throw-ins

Edit: And apparently, it applies to defensive players only according to 4-34-1

NBA

Applies anytime a ball is in flight with a chance to score and on its downward flight. Goaltending if the ball is contacted after it hits the glass with a chance to go in...also goaltending if the ball is contacted below the rim if the ball is on its upward flight (with a chance to score). There can be no goaltending or BI during a throw-in, so a player could catch the ball above the cylinder straight from a throw-in. Also not BI if the ball is contacted on the rim, but falling off the edge.

My understanding of the NCAA rule is that GT can only apply to defensive players.

Went back and looked at the rule...did not know NCAA made that distinction.

Interesting. Didn't know that. Seems a bit unfair to make a live ball playable by one team but not the other.

Might I add: Outside the cylinder?
