So, if a player commits BI while doing this, would that not be a reason to call BI and a Technical?
If these two calls were made, we would then count the basket (2 or 3 points) and then award the offended team 2 FT's and the ball at the division line, correct?

That would be great, but you cannot call a BI for slapping the backboard. Slapping the backboard has nothing to do with BI or GT for that matter.
The only way a T could be called, along with a BI, if a player grabs the rim and the ball is hit before the rim goes back to its original position. You could call a T for the hanging on the rim and the BI for the ball hitting the ball before returning to the rim's original position.
