Or before it has hit the ground, a basket or a backboard. BTW - I finally figured out why they still have the "backboard" in this rule. I mean, let's get real - who can tip the ball from the center circle directly off a backboard (or a basket, for that matter?). I think it's a holdover from the days when we actually had jump balls during a game and some were administered in the free throw jump circles.
