You're corrcted- you're wrong. Twice.
If the dribbler throws the ball off
his backboard, then that's usually regarded as a shot. Judgement call- but how can anybody be 100% sure that it wasn't a shot? If it is a shot, it's also a loss of player and team control- which means that any player that recovers the ball can dribble, pass, shoot, etc. Note that it's a different call if you throw it off your opponent's backboard. Also, if the pass bounces off another player (on either team), player control was lost, even though team control wasn't. It's legal to dribble again. Case book play 9.5.3.
