Thanks for pointing out that change. I actually find the newest version the most problematic. It makes one immediately ask, "What if the player throws the ball against his/her own backboard while clearly NOT attempting to score?"

Nevada, that's exactly why I asked if the new wording of the case changes the way we adjudicate the play. Previously, there was no judgement. Throwing the ball off your own backboard was the same as bouncing it on the floor,
except that it was explicitly stated that it was not considered a dribble. Now, the ruling only applies during a try. So if it's not a try, is it a double dribble (same as throwing off the opponent's backboard)?
