A pass that is gonna be close to an alley oop. A2 misses the ball it hits the back board and bounces back to A1 who is the first to touch it in the back court. Do we have a violation?

Basketball Rules Fundamentals, #19 says the backboard is treated the same as the floor, except the THROWER'S backboard does not constitute a part of a dribble.
The debate hinges on this being or not being a try. I'd say it's not, so a backcourt violation would occur. 4.4.4 is the closest caseplay I've found and that deals with the ball striking an official and going back to the player, and an official...like the backboard...is part of the floor.
