A player who strikes a backboard, during a tap, or a try, so forcefully that it cannot be ignored because it is an attempt to draw attention to the player, or a means of venting frustration, may be assessed a technical foul.

10-3-4a says a T can be assessed for putting a hand on the backboard to gain an advantage. Intimidation could be construed as trying to gain an advantage.
