I have heard of examples of distance runners who after playing league basketball, came back to run better than prior to playing basketball. Seems that basketball incorporates plyos in a natural way. Can anyone back this up from experience?

Twice a week is too much for most people. It is too much for anybody if they didn't build up to it.
Total number of reps is important too. If you are new to plyos, I think anything over 1x per week and 20 to 40 foot contacts per session is too many.
Everybody now knows to increase mileage slowly. That is true of any training stimulus.
Only 20 to 40 foot contacts? I usually include 2x or 3x 100 double-leg skips when I jump rope in my plyo sessions, in addition to 3sets x 6reps of box jumps onto a wall into depth jumps off the wall, plus a bunch of other jumps. I'm 54 years old and don't run much and avoid most single-leg efforts now but your approach seems extremely cautious.
