Yesterday, a coach and several parents approached me about the slapping the backboard rule. First of all they wanted goaltending and not a technical but I explained that if anything was to be called it would have to be a technical since this is not covered in the BI or Goaltending rule. So here is what happened according to the "witnesses" Player A1 goes up for a layup and B1 in trying to block the shot, gets a peice of the ball and then hits the backboard. The backboard is "flimsey" so it shakes like crazy from the slap. The official calls a T. Should this have been passed on or not?
