Habit, routine, to show off who knows? Do you penalize when a player crouches down and slaps the floor when he gets in a defensive stance? Why do you think they do that? The rule gives you authority to penalize the backboard slap, but not just because you thought it was a non-basketball play - if you deem that he did it for unsportsmanlike purposes then it must be so hard that it cannot be ignored or to vent frustration (cb 10.3.4)
