Coaches ask for a goaltend because in the NBA, it's goaltending if a defender vibrates the rim, net, or backboard so that it causes the ball to make an unnatural bounce...and yes, I've seen this actually occur.
As to my area, I've only seen the play occur once, and told the coach why it wasn't anything...he accepted the answer without much argument.
