Taking away a 3-point opportunity but penalizing only 2 FT's could conceivably have some teams slapping the backboard on purpose in some situations.
I doubt it.

If the 3-pointer is good, we go to OT.

If a player slaps the backboard and the shot is good, we lose the game (it's unlikely that the best shooter on the team is going to miss two in a row).

I don't think a coach is going to take that chance.
