COMMENT:The purpose of the rule is to penalize intentional contact with the backboard while a shot or try is involved or placing a hand on the backboard to gain an advantage. A player who strikes either backboard so forcefully it cannot be ignored because it is an attempt to draw attention to the player, or a means of venting frustration may be assessed a technical foul pursuant to Rule 10-3-6.

Ah, yes. It’s in the case play of course. Thanks! Interesting that it says the part about drawing attention or venting frustration is a situation where a T “may” be assessed. But if it’s during a try/tap, the implication is that the official gets less decision latitude and is expected to whack the player.
