Slapping backboard after layup

A hundred years ago, when I was in HS, our coach told us to slap the backboard after each layup as a way to make sure we were getting enough elevation. Now this was the days before ANYONE was playing above the rim, so a kid who could slap the backboard and make a layup on the same move was doing pretty good. I don't rembember ever doing it during a game, but we NEVER missed a layup!
