Note that the violation is called
basket interference. It isn't
backboard interference. Imo there is no way for any official to
definitively know that any backboard slap actually did cause a ball to spin out of the basket. And if there is no way to
definitively know, you might be penalizing a player for an act that had no affect on the play.
There is provision now in the rules to penalize
both, but only if
both are committed
on the basket. That's case book play 9.11.1SitB. If you do cause the ring to vibrate by actually hitting the ring(as per 10-3-5b), and if the ball is on or in the basket when you smacked the ring, you could also call both the "T" and BI in that case too.
