While the rules are generally the same for all three levels, there are differences:
NFHS:
All that matters is if it's a try and the ball on its downward flight and a chance to go in. Ball can be contacted off the glass if the ball is still on its upward flight. Also BI applies on a throw-in
NCAA:
Must be a try and the ball on its downward flight and a chance to go in. The ball can not be contacted after it's touched the glass above the level of the rim with a chance to go in. BI applies on throw-ins
Edit: And apparently, it applies to defensive players only according to 4-34-1
NBA
Applies anytime a ball is in flight with a chance to score and on its downward flight. Goaltending if the ball is contacted after it hits the glass with a chance to go in...also goaltending if the ball is contacted below the rim if the ball is on its upward flight (with a chance to score). There can be no goaltending or BI during a throw-in, so a player could catch the ball above the cylinder straight from a throw-in. Also not BI if the ball is contacted on the rim, but falling off the edge.
