If you determine there was attempt to block a shot and they miss the ball, whether they hit the backboard hard is not apart of this call. Vibrating the backboard cannot be goaltending or basket interference considering that the backboard has nothing to do with that call.

I completely understand that, but doesn't rule 10-3-5 say, intentionally slap or stike the backboard OR cause the ring to vibrate. I see that as 2 conditions of 10-3-5 that a player can get a technical foul if the ball is in flight, touching the backboard or in the basket or the cylinder. Since we all know that we can't count the basket for BI or goaltending, then I am probably going to whack the defender.
