Three points to consider for goaltending:
1. Above the basket.
2. On the downward flight.
3. And have a chance to go in.
Bradley you are wrong about offensive goaltending. There is no such animal. Only the defensive cannot touch the ball on a shot.
If the offensive team catches a ball outside the basket but on line to the basket and then slams it, it is a good play.
If the offensive team catches the ball while it is in the cylinder, then it is offensive interference.
Hope this clarifies the rule.
