An NCAA committee has recommended changing the goaltending rule so that a ball that is completely above the rim and has already hit the backboard could not be touched, regardless of whether it is on an upward or downward flight. "This change better defines and discerns the act of goaltending," Brad Jackson, chairman of the NCAA basketball rules committee and coach at Western Washington, said Monday.

I like this idea. Anything above the rim is goal tending, that rule would be cut and dry no judjment calls, well fewer anyway.

I believe this is the rule in the NBA, so year, changing it makes perfect sense to me.
