Pre this change, would you of allowed the shot to finish if a defensive player slapped the opposite side board before whacking the player or kill it immediately and wave off the basket? That might be the answer.

The ball does not become dead until the try for a field goal ends, so the basket would count (if the ball went in) if the whistle sounded for (old rule) a slapping the backboard technical foul (old rule intentionally) if the whistle was sounded immediately (before the ball went in the basket).
