Actually saw an off the backboard play a few years ago. Seemed to catch everyone off gurad. Player gets a defensive rebound, starts to dribble as everyone heads downcourt. He picks up his dribble, but no one around to pass to. He threw the ball off the backboard and dribbled down the court. There was no call, and at the time I had never seen this before and did not know the rule. After reading this board for some time, have learned a lot of rules for situations that do not come up ofter, as well as many common ones.
