I can see you're claiming the ball was never touched, which may be true, but there is still goaltending since the ball is in contact with the rim.

Goaltending occurs when when a player touches a shot while the ball is in downward flight, entirely above the rim but not in the cylinder, and has a chance to go in.
Touching the net or rim while the ball is touching the rim is basket interference.
That's an important difference that you need to know as an official.
