A T is appropriate. You said "it shakes like crazy from the slap." It doesn't matter if it was intentional or not. Rule 10-3-6 says it is a T if the player causes the ring to vibrate while the ball is in flight (among other cases). Many will say no T because it is not deliberate and they would be generally correct if it were simply contact on the board secondary to the block attempt. But, this case is different. The backboard shook "like crazy".

Camron, Camron, Camron! Where have you been buddy? I'm still doing some games at The Hoop and haven't seen you for a while. As to your comment, I really don't understand how you can say this. It's not the players fault if the equipment sucks.

The rule book and case book are incredibly specific on not calling this if it wasn't intentional - period.

Knowing you, you must have some deep, insightful interpretation to counter this arguement. Please enlighten us.
