Goaltending is goaltending, defensive or offensive. the only difference is the penalty. Defensive will get the points awarded and if it's something that happens to often the player can get a T for failing to comply with the technicality of the rules.
Offensive will just get the points rejected.
When ever the ball is on it's way to the ring, and it's clear (to the official) that it's will go in, it may not be interfered, by no one.
A good alleyoop is never thrown in the ring, but towards the ring. Still, for the flow of the game, the ref will allow it, even if it's clear it will go in, if it is intercepted for a dunk, but not above the cylinder
