Has nothing to do with the ball being touched, nor is there a certain amount of "smack" that is required....
Did he cause the basket or backboard to vibrate while the ball was in the cylinder? Yes. Therefore BI.
Worth clarifying that this is NOT an NFHS rule. That's not BI in NFHS, and the contact with the backboard was not intended to draw attention to the player, so not a T, either.
