for the above incident 2 things must be taken into consideration was the defensive player intentionally trying to contact the board, if no did the contact with the board keep the ball from entering the goal(this is purely judgement on the officials part) if both answers are no the this should be a no call,
if yes to either question then a T must be called.

Only the first question need be asked / answered. The effect (if any) on the ball is ignored. If the ball goes in, despite (or because of) the contact, the basket counts. If the ball does not go in, it does not count.
