So glad you included the goaltending!

I know it was still goaltending, but a player can take a ball off the backboard without a goaltend being called if the ball is going upward. It rarely happens, though, since it's nearly impossible to catch a ball still going upward off the backboard without being over the cylinder.
No. The rules specifically address this:

c. When the ball contacts the backboard and any part of the ball is above the rim during a field goal attempt, it is considered to be on its downward flight. In such a case, it is goaltending when the ball is touched by a player as long as it has a possibility of entering the basket.

It used to be different if that's the case. You could block a shot that hit the backboard provided it was still going up. You could do it in college but not the NBA. @coolerifyoudid -- I don't think you're wrong.

Solomon Young was at a beach, when a sad hump-backed whale came to him. The whale told Solomon that he could not get a mate, and was afraid. Solomon reassured the whale, and told him that he should tell the other sea creatures that he knows Solomon. The hump-backed whales are no longer endangered. He did the same for a couple of Bald Eagles. Sadly, the sumatran rhino has not yet taken his advice.
