Once a basketball enters the imaginary cylinder above the rim, touching the ball is goal tending (offensive or defensive depending upon which team touchs the ball). An offensive player dunking the ball is touching it while it is in the cylinder. Why isn't this offensive goal tending?

You have to let go of the ball. On the defensive side, If a defensive player held onto the ball, brought it into the imaginary cylinder above the rim, and then took it back out without throwing it down, that is not goaltending either.

Because the player never let go of the ball.

Because the player never relinquished control of the ball.

because that is the way the rules are. A dunk has never been goaltending because it is a type of shot.

Goal tending is an interference penalty. Since you cannot interfere with yourself it is not a violation.
