Backcourt Backboard ...

Is a backcourt pass that hits the opponent's basket ring treated the same as a backcourt pass that hits the opponent's backboard?

Happened last night but luckily a second player got the deflected ball, not the passer, but the play still came up in a post game discussion.

Casebook talks about a ball striking the opponent's backboard being treated the same as if the ball touched the floor (possible illegal double dribble), but the casebook doesn't talk about basket rings.

Purpose and intent?

Is the net part of the basket for this purpose?
