A player cannot touch the ball, ring, or net while the ball is on the ring or within the basket. A player cannot touch the ball if it is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring. These are examples of basket interference. It is legal to touch the ring or the net if the ball is above the ring and not touching the ring, even if the ball is in the imaginary cylinder above the ring. It is legal to hang on the ring if a player is avoiding an injury to himself or herself or another player.
The backboard has nothing to do with goaltending. Goaltending is contacting the ball on its downward flight, above the level of the rim, with a chance to go in. On most layups, the ball is going up after it contacts the backboard. It is legal to pin the ball against the backboard if it still on the way up and not in the imaginary cylinder above the basket. Slapping the backboard is neither basket interference nor is it goaltending and points cannot be awarded. A player who strikes a backboard, during a tap, or a try, so forcefully that it cannot be ignored because it is an attempt to draw attention to the player, or a means of venting frustration, may be assessed a technical foul. When a player simply attempts to block a shot and accidentally slaps the backboard it is neither a violation nor is it a technical foul.

Don't you think Jeff that when the backboard vibrates and a basket could possibly be taken away, that action should be penalized? In NFHS, a player could shake the backboard tremendously with no penalty. Yet, if he touches the rim slightly while the ball is on the rim, it is basket interference. This seems inconsistent in my mind. My two cents.

Yes, it certainly can have an effect on a field goal. And yet, by NFHS rules, there can be no points awarded.

You are correct that it can affect a shot, and I think that most officials have made this call at some point in their careers. However, if you set it in stone in your mind that the backboard can move violently on a legitimate block attempt on a shot, you realize that play goes on. At the higher levels, it happens more frequently, but rarely does it really vibrate a shot out of the hoop. Just one of those things.

Only good if they revised the wording to say "Intentionally".
Good attempts at Defense should not be punished.
