Slapping the backboard in pregame?

Two options:

1) Flagrant T on all players. Declare a forfeit, collect your check, go home.

2) Nothing.

Keep in mind...

With Option 1, it will likely be the last check you collect.

And even if you declared the game a forfeit, collected a cheque, and went home, the PTB that step in and say nope, and play the game, "again".

Is this another way of saying, "Don't be a craftsman who installs and repairs pipes and fixtures and appliances?"

I did not have many options as a spectator. I also didn't have the option to even eat popcorn while they did it as
1. The place doesn't have any. (This should be a flagrant T.)
2. The place doesn't allow food or drinks in the gym. (This should be a T.)

If you see something as a spectator more often than not being ignored or not penalized, then chances are it is not illegal.

And how does a school not have popcorn? Is that possible?

I've heard of no drinks in a gym... but never seen no popcorn allowed.

That's wrong and I wouldn't stand there and let them bad mouth The United States of America... gentlemen!
