So if a player intentionally goaltends (for whatever reason) he can be assessed with a technical?

No. Where did you get that?

 

If he goaltends , its two points - bal out of bounds for the other team.

Post #12, but from re-reading that is basket interference. What is the main difference?

Based on the wording of Post #12, the T was called because A)the ref assumed the slap was intentional and not a valid attempt at a block or B)the ref made the wrong call.

 

BI and goaltending are different yet many of us use the term 'goaltending' to mean any issue with the shot at or over the rim.

 

Goaltending deals with the ball that is in flight and above the rim on its downward flight and has a chance of going in. BI deals with the ball when it is ON or IN the basket. Both result in 2 points if the violation is on the defense.

From post #12 I have seen this called a Technical before.

 

Game A:

The ball wasn't on the rim either. A player from my team slammed the backboard causing to shake. A goaltending was called and so was a Technical.

 

 

Game B: The ball was circling the cilinder, a player hit the board. The ball cam out of the cilinder and nothing was called.

NKY: If it was called in Game A, it was called because the ref didn't think it was an attempt at a block. If he did think that it was valid, it would not have been called regardless of where the ball was.

 

 

Game B: Sounds like the ref thought it was a valid attempt at a block.

Your confusion there has to do with NBA rules which restrict blocking the shot after it touches the glass. In HS as long as you block the shot before it reaches its apex you are OK. This would rarely happen after touching the glass but is possible.

 

I also thought this was the college rule too??? So high school rule says after ball reaches apex or on the rim, or above the cylinder is basket interference. Everything else is a blocked shot?

All leagues have goaltending rules that say the ball cannot be touched once its on its way down OR its on the rim OR in the cylinder.

 

NBA is the only league that has a rule that says once the ball has hit the backboard, without exception, it cannot be touched by the defense.
