ditto. I have seen a few hard slaps on the board. I don't think a slap will have an effect on a shot. Boards are pretty secure now days. I think the only purpose for the penalty for intentionally slaping the bboard is showmanship,..thus the T. I've only seen this once and that was when the player dunked, grab rim and slapped the board.
