Basket Interference, Goaltending, or nothing?

[johnny d]

With the way the play is described, I have to agree with no call.

Cannot be goaltending for number of reasons: ball below or at best level with rim and no chance to go in.

Cannot be BI because not on the cylinder or within the cylinder.

Agree. Touching the rim is not necessarily on the rim.

It was probably called goaltending because some people think that after it hits the backboard you can't still block the shot, like in NCAA, but if it's NFHS game it is still legal.

1. It was a missed call.

or

2. The official saw it differently than the way it's described.

That only applies if any part of the ball is above the basket.

And yet 90% of HS coaches will whine for a goaltending call on this play.
