So the ball hit the back board... was on the way up... and was still below the rim.

Just keeps on getting better.

Clearly when a 5'9" guard trys to shoot a layup, the ball is on it's way up when they let it go, EVEN AFTER IT TOUCHES THE BACK BOARD it still has to go up to get above the rim before it starts coming down. What you are talking about is when someone that can jump or a big man shoots a layup they are already above or even with the rim and a block like this is not possible. Talking about physics a ball can not hit below the rim off the backboard and go in without still going up and then over, then in the basket. You didn't do well in physics did you????????

I believe the rule is being mixed up because of the college rule and the high school rule.
In College after the ball touches the backboard, no matter what it can not be touched, this shot would of been goal tending at the college level.
IN HIGH SCHOOL, as long as the ball is still going up after contacting the board and still below the rim which it was in this shot, only about half the ball was above the rim, THE BALL CAN STILL BE BLOCKED, excellent play by cordia player.
