My initial read was that he called the violation solely for the contact with the backboard.... this is among the most frequently misinterpreted rules.

The T did call the violation strictly because of the contact with the backboard. He did not think the defender contacted the ball at all.
The C (our OP for this thread), however, had no way of knowing. My point is, if my partner makes this call and I don't know why, I'm going to assume he knows the rule and saw something I didn't. I'm not stopping the game to correct him, most likely.
