Rule4-4-5-- "A ball which touches the front faces or edges of a backboard is the same as touching the floor inbounds, except when it touches the thrower's backboard it does not constitute part of the dribble."
From there, your play is just a judgment call as to whether it's a try or a pass.. You aren't going to get anything definitive in the rules one way or another. If you judge it a try---> legal play. If you judge it as a pass---> backcourt violation.

Thanks JR and everyone else, I was hoping it was something more then just a judgement call but with the rules references; it makes sense to me now.
