4.6.4 says "pulls down a movable ring," which I realize doesn't include slapping the backboard, but the cause and effect are the same.
The cause and effect may be the same in your eyes, but unfortunately the rules don't see it the same way that you do. To have BI, you have to touch either the ball or any part of the basket. If you don't touch one or t'other, the rules say that you can't have BI.
