I blew my whistle and called a "T" on player B, as I report the "T" to the table, team A convinced my partner that it is also goaltending and that the basket should count and plus the "T" on top of it. So now am in a debate with the players and trying to convince my partner that they canot have both goaltending and "T" by rule.
I can't find my rule book, so can u guys help me out on this ruling?

See rule 10-3-5(b) and casebook play 10.3.5. If you thought that B made a legitimate attempt to block the shot, as you said above, his play is legal- no matter whether the backboard vibrates or not. No technical foul. You can never call GT either because B never touched the ball. That's rule 9-12.
