What do you have if anything? A reference would be nice if you have one.

If you judge he intentionally bounced the ball off the board and it wasn't a try, then it was an illegal dribble. Don't have my books right now, so sorry for no citation.
If it were me, I'd want to be awful sure he was really trying to "pass it to himself" off the board and not actually making a try at the hoop...
