Basketball Question # 2.

[Lighthouse]

A1 is shooting a layup, and B2 attempts to block the shot. B2 misses the ball, and his or her hand strikes the backboard during the follow-through of the legitimate blocked-shot attempt. The striking of the backboard causes the basket to vibrate while the ball is on the ring, and A1's shot rolls off the ring unsuccessfully. What is the penalty for B2's act?

A. Technical foul assessed to B2.
B. Goaltending violation on B2.
C. Basket interference violation on B2.
D. No foul or violation on B2. Play on.

D. I could be wrong but I think basket interference only applies to the rim. Meaning only if a player touches the rim or grabs the net pulling the rim down. But, as I type, smacking the backboard would effect the rim just as much, so I have talked myself into answer C.

I think its C.
