Agree. Sounds like the defender didn't want to commit BI, but didn't want the ball to roll into the hoop, so he hit the backboard. And it worked. And it was T-worthy.
10-3-4b: A player shall not illegally contact the backboard/ring by
intentionally slapping or striking the backboard or causing the ring
to vibrate while a try or tap is in flight or is touching the backboard
or is in the basket or in the cylinder above the basket.
