An illegal rejection in basketball occurs when a defensive player blocks or swats away a shot after it has hit the backboard or is on its way down towards the basket. This is known as goaltending and results in the basket being automatically counted for the offensive team.
No, goaltending does not count as a point in ice hockey.
Basketball.
In basketball yes, in hockey no.
Yes, goaltending is considered a violation in basketball, not a foul. It occurs when a player interferes with a shot on its way down towards the basket.
Goaltending: A referee calls goaltending when a defensive player illegally interferes with a shot. If the defensive player touches the ball as it makes its downward path to the basket, touches the ball while it is on the rim, or touches the rim or net itself as the ball is being shot, the offensive team receives the basket
As far as NBA rules go, yes. If a ball is touched after it has touched any part of the backboard above ring level, it is considered goaltending regardless of whether the ball is on its upward or downward flight. If the ball touches the backboard below ring level and is touched on its upward flight, it is considered goaltending; downward flight, no goaltending. Of course, the official also has to rule that the ball would have had a chance of going through the ring for goaltending to be called.
