Goaltending ...

Found it. It's not goaltending, it's basket interference.

NFHS 4-6: Basket interference occurs when a player:
ART. 1 Touches the ball or any part of the basket (including the net) while
the ball is on or within either basket.
ART. 2 Touches the ball while any part of the ball is within the imaginary
cylinder which has the basket ring as its lower base.
ART. 3 Touches the ball outside the cylinder while reaching through the
basket from below.
ART. 4 Pulls down a movable ring so that it contacts the ball before the
ring returns to its original position.

It's BI in NCAA as well.

You should know that the terms are interchangeable to the announcers and just look in both when you have a question about what they are saying.
