I find it almost impossible to imagine a varsity or higher player not having ability enough to NOT SLAP the backboard if another player fakes a shot (a "pump fake"). He (no misogyny intended -- the players who slap the backboard are almost always male) might be faked out enough to touch the backboard, or might miss a ball in the air and slap the backboard.
I'd have a T in the original play 99.5% of the time.
