This problem has been around forever
It invites mayhem in the coaching mind every tme somebody slaps the backboard with the ball on the rim. Officials are asked to judge hundreds of things - they should be empowered to judge whether or not the action was:
1) intentional
2) had an effect
There has to be intent - you have to let players protect themselves from banging into the backboard.
Wake up, rules committee.
