And is slapping the backboard while hanging also a T?

No question, but how much time constitutes “hanging” on the rim is inconsistently applied. On his first T a while ago, Ziaire did a mini pull up. I didn’t have an objection to t’ing him up, though the announcers thought it was a bit tricky tacky. This one, he didn’t pull up, and hung for less time. I don’t object to the technical, but not calling it would have been well within norms.
Hope Ziaire learns his lesson and this is the last one.

Yes. That's my understanding. Think of it as "Dunking okay; gratuitous stuff while dunking (hanging on rim; slapping backboard; screaming inordinately long time; saying "your mother," etc.) will get you a technical. Pretty sure that is not explicitly in the rules, but . . .
