If the ball has came OFF the back board it is goal tending at ANY level. You can hit the ball b4 it hits the back board or while its on the black board but not after its hit and came off the back board.

read the rule book ballstar. I didn't know the rule either until last year when it was shown during a uk game/noel block, but u can block it off the backboard on the way up, but it rarely happens.
