You could then ask if he believed the players were slapping the backboard intentionally and seek guidance on how to judge this vs. a player hitting the backboard while attempting to block the shot.

How you approach this is important, and is also dependent on your relationship with the assignor. Good luck.
+1 Diplomacy, diplomacy. I love the desire to learn line, cool strategy!
