Thanks for the replies so far.
My contention with him was that under Section XIV - Travelling of the NBA rule book, it states:
j. A player who attempts a field goal may not be the first to touch the ball if it fails to touch the
backboard, rim or another player.
As the ball, wheter it was a pass or shot, hit the backboard thus allowing anyone including the passer/shooter to rebound the ball.

The Schoolyard Rulebook clearly states that whoever yells the loudest is correct. Unless, of course, the player who owns the ball threatens to take it home with him.

HA!HA! I'd hope that a bunch of 20-30 somethings aren't that juvenille, even though a passer by might disagree.
