Basabe goal tending

Did the ball touch the backboard? According to these rules any ball that touches the backboard can not be touched until it is below the rim.
I don't even know if it meant the first requirement of being in a downward flight.
If the ball is bouncing off the rim, going up...

Section 34. Goaltending
Art. 1. Goaltending shall have occurred when a defensive player touches
the ball during a field-goal try and each of the following conditions is met:
Exceptions: Rules 10-3.6; 10-6.1.i
a. The ball is in its downward flight; and
b. The entire ball is above the level of the ring and has the possibility,
while in flight, of entering the basket and is not touching the
cylinder.
RULE 4 / DEFINITIONS 75
Art. 2. It is goaltending to touch the ball outside the cylinder during a free
throw, regardless of whether the free throw is on its upward or downward
flight.
Art. 3. When the entire ball is above the level of the ring during a field-goal
try and contacts the backboard, it is considered to be on its downward flight.
In such a case, it is goaltending when the ball is touched by a player.
 
It looked to be inside the cylinder to me. I watched it several times. The foul was phantom.
 
Why was the ref from mid court making that call. Once again I thought it was a typical horrible reffed B1G game.
