Does continuous motion apply here? A technical can only be assessed if the backboard is slapped during a try. Since the ball wasn't released, was the try in progress? If not, a technical foul cannot be assessed. If the try was in progress, nice call.

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.
