There was no call for a goaltend, but if there was, how would it be called? The Lead called the foul if that makes a difference here.
My thinking is this: The C or T official whomever would be responsible for it (which I am not sure) would immediately hit the whistle to signal the goaltend. Let the L take the foul and the awarded basket to the table.
Would there be a difference in how it is handled in Fed?

This play happened in the 2005 Ontario Provincial High School Championship.
A1 drives baseline from the T's side and gets fouled by a secondary defender in the middle of the lane. L has the whistle. While the ball is on its downward flight, B4 goaltends.
The T waited about 2 seconds after the L's whistle and then had his own whistle and hammered it home. The place went nuts!
To this day, it has been the best call I've seen in a provincial final.
So to answer your question, I think the play would be handled the same way in Fed and NCAA. Just make the GT call before the L reports the foul.
