Because it cannot be judged to not be a try. Everytime the ball hits the backborad of the player that threw the ball there, it was a try. Period. No I do not have a reference. But we've done this discussion before, and that was the outcome.

I don't remember that being the outcome.
In no place does it say it is a try...only that the effect on the traveling rule is like that of a try. Nothing more. No reference anyone has ever made has even hinted that it would be a shooting foul for contacting a player who was bouncing the ball off the corner of the backboard.
