Most of the time the slapping of the backboard happens either on a layup or bank shot, correct? So here is a few things I use to help me call this situation.

If the slapping is a legitimate attempt to block the shot, AND the ball hasn't passed through the net already, I leave it alone, to matter how hard the slapping is. If the slapping occurs on the opposite side of the backboard, away from the side of the attempt, I T no matter when it happens. I picked this up from Steve Wellmer, and it hasn't let me down since I implemented it..

I think you and I are in violent agreement. Key terms being legitimate shot-block attempt. Opposite side of the backboard is fairly easily discerned as not a legitimate attempt.
