In a high school game, I observed this from the stands recently. Funny this was brought up. The official assessed a technical foul.
I totally disagree. The official even told me later when I talked to him after the game, he didn't think the player slapped it intentionally. I thought that was the point of the rule, was to penalize intentional slaps??!!!
I would have scored the basket and play on. Defensive player B tries to make a legitimate block on the ball and misses it and causes the backboard to move and the ball which was going in to come out and off of the rim. I score it here. Good play by defensive players should not be penalized and given a technical foul for athletic play at or above rim level.
After all its not the player's fault they don't have better goals so he can go after the ball and not move the backboard and/or support(s) to it, right?
Good play here.
