Basket Interference with unintended advantage.

Why "without violating?"

A deliberate miss is usually a hard line drive that may not even enter the cylinder, and if it does, only briefly. One would have to be quick to enter after the release and get a hand in there.

All he needs to do is be grabbing the net when it hits the rim.

What difference does it make if he committed a free throw violation in the process?

Would you consider a line drive throw which hits the front of the rim to be "on or within" the basket?

I could be wrong - but i think he meant as long as the free throw shooter didn't violate. Not, the BI guy.

Nope, for some reason I was thinking the BI wouldn't count if there was a free throw violation first. I was thinking....... You see, it was like this...... I......



Oh, what a tangled web we weave.....

I was hoping you would say, "Yeh, that's the ticket".

But that would be a T.

10-3 ART. 3 . . . Grasp either basket at any time during the game except to prevent injury; dunk or stuff, or attempt to dunk or stuff a dead ball.

Of course, the way around that is just to touch the net/rim as the ball gets there.

I might just happen to sneeze right at that moment and miss it, however.

Yeah, good point. I was thinking that, strategically, it makes more sense, but you really can't guarantee the refs call it if you don't make it obvious. Touching the net seems to rarely get called, and grabbing it would risk a T.
