Take another look at 4-6. Only pulling down the ring is the BI (from an NCAA game a few years back). Hitting the backboard is never BI/Goaltending.

Not sure about the T, but im still a learning noob.

In order to call the T, it needs to either give the player an advantage, or the player needs to intentionally contact the backboard. From the sound of it, this contact was just following through on a block, therefore no T. (10.3.5 covers this)
