offensive interference is called when the basketball is either sitting on the rim or is in the air directly above the rim, and a player on the offensive team touches the ball. You are not allowed to touch the ball at all until it has cleared the rim. If a defensive player touches it, the call is goaltending and the basket is scored either 2 points or 3 points if it was shot beyong the 3 point arc. If offensive interferece is called, the basket is waived off, and the other team is awarded the ball out of bounds.
