I think the truth lies in the original story, but was enhanced for dramatic effect.
I have long been told the reason was they did not want uncontrolled dunking during warmups to bend the rims or break the glass, thus causing a delay.
The origin, I was told, was that huge monster:TV. It takes about 30 minutes to change a backboard, and that could or did, mess with TV schedules, so they convinced the NCAA it was bad, and it trickled down to the FED.
