He is holding it two feet in front of the basket and now throws it downward with great force. The ball is headed towards the basket and will likely go in when a nearby defender jumps and bats the ball away. What call do you make?
I have a feeling it's wrong, but I would call that a good block. Question: is the ball still in the players hand or is this some JaVale McGee throw-in dunk from 6 feet away? I would call it a block if in the defenders hand, a goaltend if contacted after the release.
