Goaltending question

[M&M Guy]

Well, I was going on definitions 4-22: "Goaltending occurs when a player touches the ball during a field goal try or tap while it is on its downward flight entirely above the basket ring level...", and 4-40-2: "A try for field goal is an attempt to score 2 or 3 points by throwing the ball into a team's own basket".

In this case, A1 "shot" the ball at B's basket, so it is not a try. Since it is not a try, there cannot be goaltending. It would be treated no different than a pass. In the same sitch, if B1 happened to foul A1, it would not be considered a shooting foul either.

I think in your case, it was a legal try by A at A's basket, so yes, A can also be called for goaltending.
