Red 33 attempts a shot, the ball hits the ring and then it is tapped away by White 72. The referees call an interference violation and award 2 points to Red 33.
Article 31.2.4: Interference occurs when:
• A defensive player touches the ball or the basket while the ball is within the basket, thus preventing the ball from passing through the basket.
Article 16.1.2: The ball is considered to be within the basket when the slightest part of the ball is within the basket and below the level of the ring.
Outcome: Correct decision by the referees. Part of the ball was within the basket, and below the level of the ring, when White 72 touched it and thus preventing it from passing through the basket.
