Here is the reference - 6-4-3d:
It is under the AP procedure:
6-4-3 In all jump ball situations other than the start of the game and each extra period, an alternating-possession throw-in shall result when:...
d. A live ball lodges between the backboard and ring or comes to rest on the flange, UNLESS A FREE THROW OR THROW-IN FOLLOWS.
Should resolve this issue I think.
