I still disagree with that statement. Iirc, we had a case play throughout the 90's stating that there was no "T" for a
legitimate block attempt if the backboard was rattled. That's why the rule was
clarified in the 2000-01 rule book, and was
not listed as a new rule or rule change.
I can remember going over that exact interpretation at camps/clinics during that time period.
