I had a scrimmage the other night where if the defender had hit the backboard it could have effected the ball going in the basket. And besides, even when we call a Technical, I think we should be able to count the basket. They prevented the ball from going in. I know by rule we can't and I won't until, if ever, they change the rule. It just doesn't make since to me to allow the defense to do that and not count the basket.
