Goatending?
Ok, may be a stupid question, but here goes :D
kid driving for layup, ball hits off backboard (layup style) still going up is NOT above the rim and is NOT in the imaginary cylinder, defender does his best LeBron "get-that-weak-mess-out-of-here" block of the ball after it hits the backboard (but again, with above parameters mentioned). NBA has it as goaltending. That we know.. My question is, is this goaltending in NFHS? I can't find anything in the books that says it is. The books only have to do with swatting the ball when it's on its DOWNWARD flight, or is IN the imaginary cylinder that has the ring as its lower base. so WHY is this called goaltending in NFHS? Not trying to be a smartie, just honestly asking. And please, if you find something in the books to back up the fact that it WOULD be goaltending, please reference. Thanks :) |

Goat-tending needs two T's, and should be hyphenated.

The backboard has nothing to do with goaltending. Goaltending when a player touches the ball during a try, or tap, while it is in its downward flight, entirely above the basket ring level and has the possibility of entering the basket. On most layups, the ball is going up after it contacts the backboard. It is legal to pin the ball against the backboard if it still on the way up and not in the imaginary cylinder above the basket.

The play described is not goaltending in either NFHS or NCAA games.

Will there be a separate thread about goat beginning?
