Found it. It's not goaltending, it's basket interference.

NFHS 4-6: Basket interference occurs when a player:
ART. 1 Touches the ball or any part of the basket (including the net) while
the ball is on or within either basket.
ART. 2 Touches the ball while any part of the ball is within the imaginary
cylinder which has the basket ring as its lower base.
ART. 3 Touches the ball outside the cylinder while reaching through the
basket from below.

ART. 4 Pulls down a movable ring so that it contacts the ball before the
ring returns to its original position.
