Tony, I agree with your last paragraph. But I don't like the logic of proving a rule change is not appropriate based on a playing being legitimate or not because of a rule. The legitimacy itself would be in question with a rule change.
Regarless of that circular comment,
On an attempt to block a try that is on its way down, defensive play swings and misses and the backboard is slapped/hit then it was not a legitimate defensive attempt. The try then bounces out due to the basket shaking. No penalty. My point being, the backboard may be slapped in an unlegitimate or legitimate way with the ball bouncing out of the basket.
