basket and contacts the ball.

Statement 3
Following the last or only free throw and after the ball has touched the ring, the free-throw attempt changes its status and becomes a two-point field goal if the ball is legally touched by any player before it enters the basket.
Example:
A last or only free throw by A4 has touched the ring and is bouncing above it when B4 tries to tap the ball away but the ball enters the basket.
Interpretation:
Because the ball has been legally touched, the free-throw attempt has changed its status and two
points are awarded to team A.

Statement 4
If, after a field goal attempt, a player touches the ball while it is in its upward flight, all restrictions related to goal tending and interference shall apply.
Example:
After a shot for a field goal by A4, the ball is in the air when it is touched in its upward flight by B5 (or A5). In its downward flight to the basket the ball is touched by:
(a) A3.
(b) B3.
Interpretation:
The contact of A5 (or B5) with the ball in its upward flight is legal and does not change the status
of a shot for goal. However, the subsequent contact with the ball in its downward flight by A3 or
B3 is a violation. In:
(a) The ball is awarded to team B for a throw-in next to where the violation of A3 occurred.
(b) Two or three points are awarded to team A.

Statement 5
It is considered interference if during a shot for field goal, a defensive player causes the backboard or the ring to vibrate in such a way that the ball, in the judgment of the official, is prevented from entering the basket.
Example:
A4 attempts a shot for a three-point field goal near the end of the game. While the ball is in the air the game clock signal sounds for the end of the game. After the signal, B4 causes the ring or the backboard to vibrate and because of this action, in the judgment of the official, the ball is prevented from entering the basket.
Interpretation:
Even after the game clock signal sounds for the end of the game, the ball remains live and therefore an interference violation has occurred. The three points are awarded to team A.

Statement 6
Interference occurs by a defensive or offensive player during a shot for goal when a player touches the basket or the backboard while the ball is in contact with the ring and still has a possibility of entering the basket.
Example:
After a shot for a field goal by A4, the ball has rebounded from the ring and then again landed on
the ring. The ball is still touching the ring when B4 touches the basket or backboard. Is this an
interference violation?
Interpretation:
Yes. The interference restrictions apply as long as there is possibility for the ball to enter the basket.
