Why does that rule exist where u can't intefere with the ball while its still in the

[theaussieguy]

cylinder, even if its clearly not going to go in?

Stoked the spurs won but still, seems like a bullsh!t rule to me.

do you not know about offensive interference...same reason why on defense its called goaltending?

thats why Im here, the year I signed up here is the year I started following the game and unless u actively try to learn the ins and outs of the game (I don't because I am a casual fan) things like this usually go amiss.

I understand goaltending, if you had a guy like KG he would just catch peoples jumpers all day, but it seems strange to me that you can't interfere with ur team mates shot, both ur goals are the same, getting the ball in the rim so why does it matter?

pretty much goes hand in hand with goaltending...where on one end the defense can get penalized for altering a shot at the rim whether it going on a downward projectile to the hoop or knocking it off the rim after contact. so on offense you can get equally penalized if you knock it or alter it anywhere while in the restricted zone

[COnDEMnED]

Because someone has a time machine, and they went back in time and made this rule just to **** the Toe-clippers over. :roll: :roll: :roll:

It would be unfair for the other team. The rule makes scoring a basket harder, and it's better this way because players like DJ can just jump up and interfere all the times

That explains why you overrate Rondo.

Offensive interference prevents big men prove tipping in the ball for easy buckets almost every play. It also prevents the defenders from interfering with the ball while it's on the cylinder.

Also, it's not illegal in international rules. In the NBA the players are more athletic so you'd have way too many shots being taken off the rim.

ah okay makes sense

[tomtucker]

what if jordan had jumped up and dunked it in, would that have counted ?......many times those "put backs" are allowed

no it wouldn't have counted. Only allowed to do that once it's outside the cylinder.

[buddha]

idk it's a rule that doesn't make complete sense but is fair for both sides so it's not complained about. the only interference rule should be that a ball isn't allowed to be touched on the way down for a defender but once it makes contact with the rim or backboard it's fair game to be blocked or put backed but you're gonna have a hard time changing a rule that doesn't have a real reason to be changed.

Why is alley oop not offensive interference anyway? It is literally the same.

ball is not over the cylinder on most alleyoops, brah.


Jesus this is like a basic rule of basketball, why are there so many people here who can't understand it/didn't know about it?:facepalm

not for long imo


and to respond to this thread:
1. I hope we can all agree goaltending is a rule that benefits the game, or else you just get a javale mcgee to put his hands inside the basket and you play 0 defense
2. based on 1 the defensive players can't interfere with the basketball above the rim or on its way down
3. to make the game equal for both defensive and offensive players the offensive players can't interfere with the basketball when it is above the rim, but they can interfere with it on it's way down, hence alley-oops are legal.

it is a fair, simple, rule.

The **** is wrong with you guys. (not everyone on this thread, but quite a few)

He comes on to ask a question about basketball on a basketball forum. Regardless of his knowledge level, he wants to learn.

He asks a rule specifically about THE NBA. And you guys jump on him like flies on shit.

Were you guys always so knowledgeable? Shit, half of you are idiots already that don't know anything. Watch ESPN, look at a few advanced stats, and boom you're a basketball genius. (Who couldn't tell me what a horns set is without looking it up on the internet)


Keep asking questions man. Ignore the idiots that try to keep this board down.

Probably because:


name 10 PGs better than Rondo

kids these days are blinded by the lights and numbers, they don't understand real ball like you and me

Dude was hyping up Rondo like crazy. Acting like he was the best PG in the league.

This is what happens when Australians try and watch basketball. Stick to Australian rules football or whatever the **** it is you guys watch down under.
