Contacting the board after a two-handed dunk is intentional.
If the dunk was from the very front of the basket, both hands would have to be released from the rim and travel 15 inches to the surface of the backboard.
If the dunk was from the side, the player would then have to turn his body and have one hand travel no less than 6 inches to the glass, with the other traveling upwards of 15 inches to the glass.
This is in violation of 10-3-4b is should always be penalized with a technical foul.
