Bud,

What violation are you looking for in this situation? Basically what you are asking is "Is it legal to throw the ball against the opponent's backboard?" The answer to that is "yes". Violation comes into play if the player has already used his dribble and he retrieves the thrown ball. Or if he hasn't used his dribble, throws against the opponent's backboard, retrieves his own thrown ball then starts a dribble.

Ask yourself this: Would it be a violation if A1 was is getting pressed, throws the ball across court and it skims the opponents backboard or rim and then is caught by A2?
