Be the Referee: Goaltending vs. Basket Interference

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Goaltending vs. Basket Interference - Listen
We’re on the basketball court today to talk about the differences between goaltending and basket interference.
Goaltending occurs when a player touches a shot that is on its downward flight and has a chance to go in.
Basket interference is when a player touches the ball when it is on the rim, or inside the cylinder above it.
An offensive player cannot be called for goaltending but can be called for basket interference.
And once a shot hits the backboard, it is automatically considered to be on a downward flight, even if it is still going up. It’s goaltending by the defense if they touch a shot with a chance to go in that has hit the backboard.
