Also nothing in the article suggested a misunderstanding of the goaltending rule.

  Here you go: > Only the ball needs to get to the hoop, and in this NBA game, it doesn’t matter whether you are 7 feet tall or 8 feet tall; a ball shot from beyond the 23-foot-9-inch arc will loop over the outstretched arm of even the tallest player. That is absolutely untrue. Any player that can dunk can goaltend any shot.

    I think you're misunderstanding the point the author is making. The goaltending rule only prevents blocking shots on their downward trajectory. Blocks on the upward trajectory are still allowed, but they become more difficult as the play becomes more spread out, which happens when longer shots are encouraged.

      If he stated what you stated I would be misunderstanding.
