Why? What has that got to do with it?

There's nothing illegal about throwing the ball off your wown backboard. It's not a dribble and it's not a pass. If throwing the ball into your basket is always a score, then throwing the ball off your backboard is simpky a rebound, even if it doesn't go in or there's no attempt.

This play is legal.
