I agree with this BUT,
What if B1 jumps and attempts to block the shot but instead slaps the backboard and the ball DOES NOT go into the basket as a result of the vibration?

Read the COMMENT: If the defensive player is making a legitmate attempt to block the shot, there is no infraction of the rules. The vibration of the backboard is ignored and if the attempt is no good play continues uninterupted.
