Slapping backboard

[jackgil]

Lee -

If the T was issued for unsportsmanshiplike conduct, I could see it. But it is a judgment call...player did not hang on rim --it would have to come under taunting, baiting, etc.

But if the T was issued for "slapping the backboard", the rule is not being understood correctly. T is issued for slapping backboard by defense that alters shot by offense - not for scenario you described.
