I wouldn't punish a player or a team twice for one infraction. If the player smacks the backboard, and it vibrates, and alters the shot on the rim....I'm counting the basketball. I'm not going to give the kid a technical foul for this. The rule says this, but officiating is a job of using common sense. If a official counts the basket and gives the player a technical foul, be sure that he or she wouldn't be invited back to that school to officiate another contest
