I call the foul, coach is going nuts because I tell him that slapping the backboard, in this case, is nothing. He calls timeout to discuss it further. I explain the rule, he refuses to believe me. After we shoot the free throws for the foul, I hear him yell to his team, "Hey, slap the backboard every time they try a shot from now on."
