There is something called "Offensive Goaltending?"

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the offense could only commit "offensive basket interference."

Same restrictions on both teams. No touching a try on its downward flight. Offensive player may not guide a teammate's shot into the basket.

Disagree. Although the same restrictions apply, on the "alley-oop" I'm ruling it a pass, not a try. No "offensive goaltending" from me.

So you're saying that Lorenzo Charles' put back in of an airball shot at the NC State NCAA Championship in 1983 could have been called "offensive goaltending?"

Could have, but the key is determining whether it was a try or not. Most will defer to the offense and consider it an alley oop on an airball putback.

On a free throw, that's not an option. You have one of two things:

1. Goal Tending on the free throw try.
2. The try is over before it hits the rim, thus a violation. This is the one case I think most of us will consider it a goal tend rather than a rebound.

7. A-1, from behind the 3 point line, throws the ball toward his/her basket for a catch and dunk. The ball is on its downward flight outside the cylinder above the ring level and in the judgment of the official has a chance of
entering the basket when A-2 catches the ball and dunks it. The official rules this is goaltending and disallows the basket. Is the official correct?
7. Yes Rule 5 Section 2 Art 1; Rule 4 Section 22, Rule 9 Section 12
