re: Just to Clarify.....THIS IS GOALTENDING......

Actually, it is not goaltending or basket interference unless the player touches the ball. By the way, goaltending and basket interference are two different violations.

Section 17. Basket Interference and Goaltending
Art. 1. It is a violation to commit basket interference or goaltending.
Art. 2. Basket interference
a. Basket interference occurs when a player:
1. Touches the ball or any part of the basket while the ball is on or within
the basket;
2-BasketballRule from JC.indd 84 8/5/2013 9:09:29 AM
Rule 9 / Violations and Penalties 85
2. Touches the ball while any part of it is within the cylinder that has the
ring as its lower base;
3. Reaches through the basket from below and touches the ball before it
enters the cylinder; or
4. Pulls down a movable ring so that it contacts the ball before the ring
returns to its original position.
5. Causes the basket or backboard to vibrate when the ball is on or within
the basket or the backboard and/or is on or in the cylinder.
b. The cylinder is the imaginary geometric figure that has the ring as its base
and is formed by the upward extension of that ring.
c. The ball shall be considered to be within the basket when any part of the ball
is below the cylinder and the level of the ring.
d. A player may have a hand legally in contact with the ball, when this contact
continues after the ball enters the cylinder or when, during such action, the
player touches or grabs the basket.
Art. 3. Goaltending.
a. Goaltending occurs when a defensive player touches the ball during a fieldgoal try and each of the following conditions is met: (Exceptions: Rule
10-4.1.i)
1. The ball is on its downward flight; and
2. The ball is above the level of the ring and has the possibility, while in
flight, of entering the basket and is not touching the cylinder.
b. It is goaltending to touch the ball outside the cylinder during a free throw,
regardless of whether the free throw is on its upward or downward flight.
c. When the ball contacts the backboard and any part of the ball is above the
rim during a field goal attempt, it is considered to be on its downward flight.
In such a case, it is goaltending when the ball is touched by a player as
long as it has a possibility of entering the basket.

Golic and wingo just spent 10 minutes comparing this “blown” call to nfc championship. What the frick. I hate fake basketball fans.

so a regular season game on a grey area call is just as bad as a clear PI that would have sent the Saints to the Superbowl. OK Golic and Wingo.

Thank you.

The fact that this is stickied is embarrassing

Absolutely - during the first half, there were tons of posts here complaining about the officiating.

This may be the second most upvotes I've ever seen
