What is goal tending anymore?
I cant get a grip on how officials are calling goal tending these days. Seems like even on the play AD hurt his arm , was goal tending but no call. Am I being too much a stickler for playing the games within the rules?
Official rules are "goaltending is the violation of interfering with the ball while it is on its way to the basket and it is (a) in a downward flight, (b) above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder, and (c) not touching the rim.[1][2][3][4] In NCAA, NBA and WNBA basketball, goaltending is also called if the ball has already touched the backboard while being above the height of the rim in its flight, regardless of it being in an upward or downward flight or whether it is directly above the rim.[5][6] Goaltending in this context defines by exclusion what is considered a legal block of a field goal."
