Is this correct? Thank you for your answers.

cford is correct. There is no goaltending, because by definition, goaltending involves touching a try or tap, and there cannot be a try at the other team's basket. Also, FWIW, a team's own basket is the one they are trying to put the ball in (another definition), so when you're describing this kind of play it makes it a little easier to understand. I'm not trying to pick on you, just trying to give you a heads up in case some of the other, more curmudgeonly members give you a hard time.
