Yes, offensive goaltending can occur in Basketball, though it is less common than defensive goaltending. It happens when an offensive player interferes with the ball while it is in the process of entering the basket or is on its way down toward the hoop. If a player touches the ball while it is in this position, the basket does not count, and a violation is called. This rule helps maintain fair play and ensures that players do not gain an unfair advantage by interfering with the shot.

If the ball touches the backboard below ring level and is touched on its upward flight, it is considered goaltending; downward flight, no goaltending.
