Just so you know, Erik, most of us here officiate on the NCAA or HS level. Very few of us know the ins-and-outs of the NBA rules (nor do most of us care). So seeing it called a certain way in an NBA game isn't the best frame of reference when you discuss a play here. Nobody's offended, but most of us just won't be on the same page that you're on.

For example, it's illegal to pass the ball to oneself off the backboard.

Erik, this statement is not true in any rule-set that I know of, including the NBA. Perfectly legal to throw the ball off your own backboard, run and catch it.

But it's not illegal to rebound one's own missed shot if it hits the backboard but no rim.

In fact, it's not illegal to rebound one's own missed shot, even if it hits
nothing -- except in the NBA.
