You might not have a goaltending if they DO touch the ball either.
Remember, ball above the rim, downward flight, with a chance to go in. There is no mention of a backboard on a goaltend, the defender can block the shot AFTER it hits the backboard as long as none of the other 3 qualifications are there.
