A "T" would also be applicable when a shot is not involved wouldn't it?

A "T" would be applicable on a non-shot only if you deemed the slap an "unsporting" act. Personally, if someone is whacking the board away from the play, I think that I might warn them first before "T"ing them.
According to the strict language of the pertinent NFHS rule- R10-3-5(b), the slap has to be on a shot(ball in flight,touching the board,in the basket or cylinder). Casebook play 10.3.5COMMENT says the same thing- i.e. a shot or try has to be involved.
