Is this relevant in college? I thought only the NBA had the rule that you can't touch after the ball hits the backboard?

Yes, If any portion of the ball is above the rim it is deemed, by rule, to be on its downward flight. It's goaltending if a player touches it after it hits the backboard if it has a chance to go in.

And it would have been a shot clock violation after the block.

Not so sure about that, as the ball was going to hit the rim if the ball had not been touched. Or it would have been one of the worst shots in layup history.

What I said was that it was a good block. Shot clock did or would have expired but for the goaltending call. Purdue would have had a chance to tie or win with 7.1 left. Goaltending call made it 4 point game.

Thx for finding it.
