Hey whattaya know - FIBA agrees with NCAA/NFHS is also legal.

Had a funny one playing last week in a socail comp. Referee called a violation because I passed the ball to a team-mate off the backboard. Was doing a layup and intentionally "bricked" it so my trailing team-mate could show off. Wasn't an alley-oop, but the ref ruled in illegal. Any thoughts from anyone where they may have gotten this strange ruling from? Had me stumped! (and I almost picked up a T for complaining/questioning the call)
