I guess what I'm asking Mark... do you think it would be good to have a new BI rule for an opponent causing the ball not to enter the basket, because of the striking of the backboard unintentionally? (And keep the Technical for intentionally)

Sorry, I took so long to get back to your post, but I just flat out missed it.
No, I do not think the rule should be changed. The rules should contain as few exceptions as possible. Sometimes I think that there are too many exceptions already in the rules. I think the situation that we are discussing does not occur enough to make a drastic change in the rules.
