I think he even said something about that also.

Haha... you gave him too much credit in your OP.
You did the right thing. I have been in the same boat and my response was: "Coach, by rule it is a legal play if the defender is attempting to block a shot." At that point, my dialog ends. |

I shake my head, maybe. At that point, my dialog ends.

Coaches ask for a goaltend because in the NBA, it's goaltending if a defender vibrates the rim, net, or backboard so that it causes the ball to make an unnatural bounce...and yes, I've seen this actually occur.
As to my area, I've only seen the play occur once, and told the coach why it wasn't anything...he accepted the answer without much argument.

I think at the varsity level most coaches do know the rule. Maybe at lower levels the misconception is more prevalent. I haven't had a varsity coach complain about this in a very long time.

Myths happen.
Last year, JVB, H-32 got frustrated and pounded the padding on the end line. My partner whacked him. H-32 then untucks his jersey, as if he fouled out. (In a way, he did. Coach H has a rule that you're done if you get a T.) Coach V is right on me that untucking the jersey is a technical foul. While someone could make the case that it's an unsportsmanlike act, I didn't find it be, and it's certainly not an automatic T. My partner also figured it would be "double jeopardy" to nail him so quickly on the second one.
