Technical, which kills the play. No basket, even if it goes in.
You can have basket interference, or a tech, but not both.
Let's not lead our new young friend astray, now. Slapping the backboard, intentionally or inadvertently, has no affect on whether the shot counts or not. If it goes in, it counts. If it misses, it is NOT basket interference. A technical foul does not cause a legitimate shot to be dead. It is assessed separately on its own merits. So, if he slaps the board not as part of a block attempt, you count the bucket if it goes in AND assess a "T."
