Agree.
The rule--10-3-5- says you can't
intentionally slap the board while the ball is
in the basket. If they can write the rule to include the ball being already
IN the basket, the intent sureasheck must include the ball being on the rim also. Iow, if it's not too late to make the call when the ball is in the basket, it can't be too late either when the ball is on the ring
before entering the basket.
The only judgment on the play is whether the backboard slap was intentional or not.
