Jim, throwing the ball off your opponent's backboard is just like throwing the ball off the floor. If you throw it off the backboard and your teammate catches it, then you've thrown a bounce pass. Nothing more complicated than that. Once you realize that, then you call violations regarding the opponent's backboard exactly the same way that you would call violations on the floor.
So. . . A1 dribbles in his backcourt, then ends his dribble by catching the ball. A1 then throws the ball against the backboard and catches the "rebound". Violation. (It's just like a double dribble.)
A1 receives a pass from A2. A1 turns and throws the ball off the opponent's backboard, then catches the "rebound". You've got no call. A1 has simply dribbled once and then ended his dribble. NOW -- if A1 dribbles again, what do you have? Double dribble.
A1 receives a pass from A2. A1 pivots and jumps. While in the air, A1 throws the ball off the opponent's backboard. A1 then catches the "rebound". Ruling?
