If the player dribbled before the release and:
1. The ball hits the opponents backboard = Illegal dribble

Would someone like to explain why this is a double dribble? I don't beleive it is unless the player is the one to catch the ball after it hits the backboard. It would be similar to a player who dribbles then releases a two-handed bounce pass, imo. Just looking to nitpik, since I ain't touching that conspiracy theory thread with a ten foot pole.

This is not an automatic double dribble, but probably would be one based on the laws of physics.
In order to get the ball to hit the backboard, the player will (most likely) have to cause the dribble to end - either from touching the ball with both hands or by carrying the ball (if it comes to rest in just one hand).
If a player releases a two-handed bounce pass, and he then goes after it and keeps dribbling - you know it's a dribble, not a pass, and call the violation.
