If the ball was outside the cylinder, and had chance to go in, correct goaltending call in a high school game. I can't speak in regard to NCAA rules.

Goaltending is when a player touches the ball during a try, or tap, while it is in its downward flight, entirely above the basket ring level, outside the imaginary cylinder above the ring, and has the possibility of entering the basket.

A player cannot touch the ball if it is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring.
