I disagree that you see the backboard slap after a dunk "all the time". However, I agree that when you do see it, it is almost always penalized. It's an easy call, an obvious call.

The part of the dunk that has gotten away from the officials is the grasping or hanging afterwards. Officials give a lot of leeway to dunkers at the D1 level. I'm not at that level, so it's hard for me to criticize, but in my very humble opinion, it's too much leeway.
