A backboard shattering is an accident or stunt in basketball. It occurs when a player performs a slam dunk with sufficient force to shatter the tempered glass of the backboard, often causing the hoop to break off as well. Games are usually canceled or delayed and it incurs a foul for the offending player and costs of cleanup and replacement. Shattering a backboard can be dangerous, sending various small pieces of the backboard glass flying, potentially injuring players, sideline press personnel, referees, or spectators. In the National Basketball Association (NBA), shattering a backboard during a game is penalized with a \"non-unsportsmanlike\" technical foul and a possible fine towards the player. The player may not be ejected, nor shall the foul count towards a player's total towards either ejection or suspension. The referee also has latitude to waive off the foul, if it is determined the shattering was accidental due to a defect in the backboard or its structure, the board was broken during a rebound of the ball from a jump shot, or if the player had no intentions to dunk with force.
