Technical foul, not basket interference.

That only applies if it is "intentional", you should have finished the sentence in the case book.
"....ignored because it is an attempt to draw attention to player or vent frustration..."
A legit attempt to block a shot that vibrates Backboard is nothing regardless of what ball does. IMO it does seem though that this may cause ball not to go in once in a while. Maybe NFHS will realize this and make an exception to call BI?.? Until then it is nothing.
