There's the complete rule. After the violation the ball is dead. The only way slapping the board is a technical is if you think it is an unacceptable display of temper/bad sportsmanship/whatever. I don't see it any different than slapping the wall or the floor. (I can do both of these. I'm kinda shaky on slapping the backboard.)

Good point.
Case book play 10.3.5 says that you
may call the "T" if you felt that the backboard slap was intentional and it was done to draw attention or vent frustration. Judgment call iow.
