What's your opinion based on rules you have read?

Thumbs up
Under NFHS rules, as the question is written, I got nothing. Crowd and coach will be screaming, but we all know how much they know about the rules.

NFHS Case Book, Rule 10-3-4 (edited)
A1 tries for a goal, and (a) B1 jumps and attempts to block the shot but instead slaps or strikes the backboard and the ball goes into the basket...

RULING: In (a) legal and the basket counts...

COMMENT: The purpose of the rule is to penalize intentional contact with the backboard while a shot or try is involved or placing a hand on the backboard to gain an advantage. A player who strikes either backboard so forcefully it cannot be ignored because it is an attempt to draw attention to the player, or a means of venting frustration may be assessed a technical foul pursuant to Rule 10-3-6.

And if it happens 10 times that night, the same guy will yell every time: "That's a T, ref! He can't slap the board like that!"
