For Men, Rule 9.15.3c

When the ball contacts the backboard and any part of the ball is above
the rim during a field goal attempt, it is considered to be on its downward
flight. In such a case, it is goaltending when the ball is touched by a player
as long as it has a possibility of entering the basket.

For Women, Rule 9.15.5

Art. 5. When the entire ball is above the level of the ring during a field-goal
try and contacts the backboard, it is considered to be on its downward flight. In
such a case, it is goaltending when a player touches the ball.


It's usually going to be GT in the Men's game, but it still has to meet other criteria.

The ball in a men's game would have to be somewhere away from the basket to not be called. Usually, this is a quick 1-2 kind of action.
