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.

Basket interference: 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.

Thanks BillyMac, looks to me like the determining factor between BI or GT is whether or not the ball is in the cylinder. Once in the cylinder, even if moving downward, the call would be BI, not GT.
