Does this mean "in the cylinder". Or just anywhere above the ring and coming down? If it means in the cylinder, then Noahs play would have been legal, correct?

It means outside the cylinder. If it's in the cylinder, then it's Basket Interference.

Different name, similar infraction, same penalty (on this type of play).
