If the slapping of the board is a legitimate result of attempting to block the shot, there is no violation. If it is intentional, it is a technical foul (NF rules).
In the cases book 10.3.6 under the comment
"The purpose of of the rule is to penalize intentional or deliberate contact with the backboard. Contact which occurs incidentally in playing the game is allowed, but when slapping or striking is intentional or deliberate or is so forceful it cannot be ignored, a technical foul must be charged"
for the above incident 2 things must be taken into consideration was the defensive player intentionally trying to contact the board, if no did the contact with the board keep the ball from entering the goal(this is purely judgement on the officials part) if both answers are no the this should be a no call,
if yes to either question then a T must be called.
