modification of 10.3.4

The problem isn't the rule, the problem is that there are too many officials out there that do not understand how to apply the rule correctly.

While it may be the case that too many officials do not understand/know the rule, that doesn't automatically mean there is no problem with the rule. Perhaps the BI rule should be changed to include contact with the board. That is certainly a point worthy of discussion.

I would suggest that if there were a modification of the NFHS Rule about causing the ring to vibtrate that you would have a bigger disparity in the interpretation of the rule than we now have the way it is written.

I would like some intermediate penalty but not sure it would work very well....

The NBA has such a rule ....
h. Vibrate the rim, net or backboard so as to cause the ball to make an unnatural bounce, or bend or move the rim to an off-center position
when the ball is touching the ring or passing
through.

I can just see all the high school officials trying to figure out what unnatural bounce means....NBA has a limited officiating staff with lots of control...NFHS we have too many guys and frankly would open up a can of worms that would be worse than the rule we have now

If it is a legitimate try for a block and the backboard is slapped, no violation.
This would only be a "T" if it were a deliberate act with no play on the ball.
I think I have seen that twice in 22 years.......

Really? I see it quite often

I had it twice in one game two years ago. In both cases, the shot went up on one side of the rim and the defender slapped the backboard on the opposite side of the rim. Easy call both times. And yes, each team committed the act.
