4.15.4C "Throwing the ball against the opponent's backboard or an official constitues another dribble,
provided A1 is the first to touch the ball ..."
The rule makes it clear that the ball touching the backboard is the same as the ball touching the floor -- until someone touches it, we don't know if it's a pass (someone else touches it) or a dribble (A1 touches it).
