Here is the full press release. They confirmed the refs made the wrong call. Sadly I can stop remembering this quote from an official during the game that was basically, “this is my first time officiating at this high of a level, I’m so excited to be here.”
Sadly Lithuania does not get to advance or a redo.
How do you think the game would be different? Would there be a drastic change? Would teams crash the offensive glass harder? Would it hurt the defenses? What do yall think.
Here's the old illegal play. Clear as day. Years went by and no one batted an eye.
After people started to notice that something fishy was going on, they changed it up and made the blimp play with the same rules as everyone else. Legal play here.
I finally got my happy ending. I was furious before. We can all sleep at night now knowing that the blimp isn't getting away with superstar calls.

I'm currently watching the Winning Time 30 for 30 on Reggie vs the Knicks, and this play was briefly shown, but there were no further discussions about it and it was pretty much just glossed over. Looking at it though, I feel like it may have been basket interference, and the Pacers bench appears to be upset about the no call as well. At the time of the series, was this a controversial play? I can't find anything on the internet about it. Or were there better angles that showed it was legal?
Obviously it doesn't matter anymore, it's been 25 years, and the Knicks lost anyways, but if it was maybe basket interference, it is interesting and possibly opens a whole can of what-ifs for Reggie's legacy and maybe even impacts Hakeem's
Would Fiba rules for Goaltending and basket interference Benefit the NBA product and boost rating? To clarify FIBA rules are as follows: No blocking a ball in downward flight towards the rim.
Once the ball strikes the rim, any player can play the ball (i.e. swat it away or tap it in).
I've been doing some heavy reflecting after the Clippers died in the HOU-LAC series, and I've been thinking about how much more I'd seen basket interference these playoffs than before. This led me to wonder just how broad this rule is. Now obviously dunks are allowed, but I was wondering what would happen if something like this were to happen in game. I believe that it would be counted as two points because the ball was already through the hoop, but I just wanted some clarification.
There’s STATIC IN THE ATTIC!
I get the logic behind defensive interference--you could effectively just plant someone beneath the basket and just “punch” up and knock the ball away anytime something was about to go in. Just don’t get the offensive limitations on it, can’t really think of a scenario where it offers a game-breaking advantage.
In the finals, there were a couple of times where officials had to review a play where the ball was shot, hit the rim, and then possibly touched above the cylinder. Why is it a rule that the ball, even after hitting the rim, can’t be tapped above the cylinder? Do you think that players should be allowed to tap/put back the ball on a rebound with no limitations?
Basically the title. I'm planning on buying a hitch mounted basket for those road trips with extra passengers where we can't just throw our extra gear in the back seat. And as cool as roof baskets look I don't want to ruin my highway mileage.
I thought of this reading another post where someone was mentioning how bikes on a bike rack were interfering with the reversing radar. Just wondering if anyone has a hitch mounted basket and encountered the same problems before I actually buy one.
It’s basket interference if a player touches the ball when it’s above the cylinder, so how come a dunk is excluded in that rule?
I don't want credit, I just want to see it again.
For those not familiar with the rule (or non-rule), this would allow offensive and defensive players to grab or touch the ball while it is on the rim. Current NBA rules only allows you to touch it if it is outside of the cylinder, or on its way out of the basket.
I'm mainly talking about put-back scenarios. In borderline 2 or 3 point shots the refs have the ability to make a call then correct it on the next dead ball. Why can't they do the same if an offensive player is called for basket interference but otherwise the basket would have counted? I think there should be as much use of replay as possible in situations that don't slow down the game and this is a perfect example.
according to FIBA Rules
The goaltending restrictions apply until:
• The ball no longer has the possibility of entering the basket.
• The ball has touched the ring
so after a freethrow, players from the opposing team can tap the ball as soon as it hit the rim.
now, the thing i am curious is, does this also mean that if the player from the same team as the freethrow shooter tap it and it enters the ring, does that count as 2 points? because if it is, then it means fouling for you opponents to just shoot freethrows while being up 3 instead of giving up a possible 3 is not a viable option now for coaches...
p.s. im really curious why team USA doesnt abuse this rule as they have so many high leapers. they can easily tap the ball out as soon it hit the rim.
What's the big deal with helping the ball in?
After watching the Bulls-Nuggets game, and the OBI call on Noah, I started to wonder what exactly the Offensive Basket Interference rule accomplished. I understand the defensive equivalent, goaltending, but still am unsure of why the league introduced OBI. Can anyone in r/nba clarify this for me?
A bit of a weird place I'm coming from here but here it goes.
In a lot of games recently, I have seen balls riding on the rim near the backboard. Suddenly, a player or two go up for it a slap the backboard. Given how much the boards can/do vibrate from the force of the dunks/blocks/slaps, I think it could interfere with the hanging ball. Doesn't this indirectly interfere with a shot on its way down and therefore could be called as goaltending/basket interference?
I have no substantial evidence for this phenomena, but if it could be experimented I believe this could be a change.
Watching the game last night, Lebron put back a shot and the announcers speculated it may have been interference. Why does this even exist? It seems like the dumbest freaking rule. If the offense can get the ball in the hoop on a tip in why does it have to be out of the cylinder? I get why defenses shouldn't be able to do it but penalizing the offense for putting back a shot that might have gone in makes no sense. I've just always wondered this and wanted to know if there's an actual reason behind it.
