There may be an exemption if the basket moves to cause a ball to not go in as there is if the net or rim is grabbed and doesn't reset to level prior to the ball getting there.
Regarding the comments posed reference the quoted incident, the slap of the backboard was a result of a player trying to block a shot. It is virtually impossible for an airborne defender to stop a hand/arm motion on a block attempt if the offensive player throws up an errant shot. The D shouldn't be penalized due to poor O play. It would be as if a player went to pin a layup and the offensive player threw it over the backboard...O shouldn't be rewarded.
