thanks for the confirmation. the only thing I second-guessed myself on was whether to call a T for the slap. In my case, it was hard to determine whether he was slapping for show or truly making a concerted effort to block the shot. At what point would you call a T on this type of play?

If he is making a legitimate play for the ball, leave it alone. If he slaps it to gain an advantage BI, any other reason for the slap could/would be a T or possibly GT.

The backboard slap is NEVER BI or GT.
GT ALWAYS involves contact with the ball (in downward flight and above the rim and outside the cylinder such that it has a chance of going in).
BI ALWAYS involves contact with the ball (when it is in the cylinder) or rim/net (when the ball it touching the rim/net or a movable ring hits the ball when returning to a normal position after being pulled down).
If you don't have one of these, you can't have BI or GT.
