Goaltending

Has this been discussed at all? It looks like the definition of goaltending has reverted to the "old" rule, which included being outside the imaginary cylinder as one of the requirements. It's not worded as clearly as it used to be, but the phrase "is not touching the basket cylinder" has been added to last year's definition.

In my old books, it was stated much more clearly that the ball could not be touching the "imaginary cylinder that has the basket ring as its base"; but it seems like the intention is to go back to the old rule.

Thoughts? I know it only matters in one very specific circumstance, but it does matter.
