I had this come up in a game this past weekend. The coach was upset because his player took a running six-footer and the opponent took a big swipe trying to block the shot, but missed the ball and smacked the backboard. The ball hit the board, the ring, and then bounced off.

The coach first complained to my partner who was the Trail on the play, and then later asked me during a FT if the rule on hitting the backboard had changed. I told him that it had not and that as long as the player makes a legitimate attempt to block the shot that there is nothing wrong with the play. He replied that they don't call it that way in California.
