10-3-5 Player Technical Foul:
b.) While a try or tap is in flight or is touching the backboard or is in the basket or in the cylinder above the basket, intentionally slap or strike the backboard or cause the rim to vibrate.

I hope that you wouldn't consider it a technical foul under 10-3-5, because I doubt that the try or tap was in flight pregame. Maybe you could charge him with a technical foul for some other rule involving unsporting conduct, but I can't think of one right now.
