What is the point of calling offensive goaltending in the NBA considering the point of the game is to get the ball through the hoop?
because otherwise each team might just leave a player permanantly in that area, and the game would just turn into a race to get the ball to each of these people to get easy baskets, and that would be a game nobody watched....no skill involved!
its like 'offside' in soccer!
That doesn't make any sense. That's why they have "3 in the key". offensive goaltending has nothing to do with standing under the basket while the other team is on defence.

If you shoot the ball and it is deflected after it hits the backboard but is still on its way up is this goaltending?
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.
If goaltending is illegal what sport is being played?
If goaltending was legal, the sport that it would be legal in would be basketball. Goaltending is when a defensive player misdirects the ball from going through the hoop when the ball is on its way down through the hoop. When the ball is on its way up to the hoop, it is legal to misdirect it. Also when the ball has hit the backboard of the hoop it is not allowed to be touched or misdirected, because that is also considered goal tending, and if goaltending was taken out of the game of basketball then players would be able to touch the ball when it is in the air whenever they would like, and there would most likely not be as high of scoring as their is in basketball today if it was legal.
