Obviously the free throw has begun, so that's not the question. I would say the free throw "attempt" has not begun, but that's an undefined word. My thought is the intent of the goal tending rule here is to prevent the defense from actually blocking the free throw shot itself.
I wouldn't really argue with someone who called it goal tending, however. I can see going any one of three ways with this.
1. GT and the requisite TF.
2. TF for unsportsmanlike behavior.
3. Disconcertion with a warning.
I'd probably lean towards #2, but could see going either way depending on the situation.
