The previous rule was difficult to understand and consequently was being called incorrectly or inconsistently.
Previous to 2000-01, if the basket vibrated after the backboard was slapped, even if the slap was a legitimate attempt to block the shot, a technical foul could have been called.

Say what?
The cite from the 2000-01 rule book above is a
clarification. It is
not a rule change. Iow, that's the way that the FED always wanted to have it called----> no "T" for a legitimate try at a block.
