4.6.4 says "pulls down a movable ring," which I realize doesn't include slapping the backboard, but the cause and effect are the same.
Not quite. The purpose of the "movable ring" rule is to deal with (a) the basket being totally out of position (i.e., 30 degrees or more), and (b) the recoil - the rim hitting a ball in flight on its way back to the default position. The fact that the rim is shaking is not the rationale for the BI here.
