Pretty much if the path of the ball is altered by a defender after a shot has reached its apex and started falling.

You'd probably find if there was no goaltending, you'd get fewer fouls called on shot block attempts (because a defender wouldn't have to jump at the same time as the shooter to try to get the ball before it's on the way down). People would just wait til the ball is in a place where they can swat it without touching anyone.

My understanding is that if the ball is on the way down from the peak of its height it is considered goal tending.

The rule exist IMO so that tall people with no skill cant sit under the basket and swat every shot out (like in NBA JAM when you are on fire).
