The rule for a shot clearly states the officials judgement is that the player is attempting to throw for goal. If I throw it off the backboard and catch it where I stand I can see where I wouldn't call anything. However, if ball hits court it seem to me it violates rule 9-5-3. If I catch it in the air, have I not changed my pivot foot (assuming I take a couple steps to catch it).
Case play for 4.15.4 indicates throwing off oponents backboard starts a dribble. It's still really unclear what happens if, in officials judgement, it is not a try for goal and thrown at own backboard what the call would be.

4.15.4 SITUATION C: After dribbling and coming to a stop, A1 throws the ball: (a) against the opponent' s backboard and catches the rebound; (c) against his/her own backboard, catches the rebound and dribbles again. Ruling: A1 has violated in both (a) and (b). Throwing the ball against the opponent' s backboard or an official constitutes another dribble, provided A1 is first to touch the ball after it strikes the official or the board. In (c), the action is legal as a player' s own backboard is treated the same as touching the floor inbounds, but does not constitute a part of a dribble. (9-5)
The only way for part C to be true is for it to be treated as if it were a try (even though it's not a try). Can you think of ANY other reason where a player can dribble twice without another player touching the ball? I can't.
If A1 is fouled during this act, it's still not a shooting foul nor is it subject to goaltending.
