Justacoach, many good shot-blockers wait a split-second after the ball is released before they attempt their swat in order to avoid body contact and to ensure the shot has truly gone up. The shooter got the ball got on the rim quickly and the shot-blocker was too late. Contact with the board happened as a result of the missed swat. Let me know if you need further clarification.

If you truly have a legit shot block attempt, then it's a play on. Coach, players, and fans won't be happy about it, but that's beside the point. Legit shot block attempt, then a slap on the backboard is nothing...even with the ball on the rim. If it isn't a legit shot block attempt, then its tea and crumpets time.

No further clarification needed. Legal play by rule.

If the ball "hangs front of the rim" when the "shot blocker" slapped the backboard, there was more than just a "split-second" in the timing of the "block."

Make up your mind.

Ok, I've made up my mind. You don't know jack about shot blocking.
