I'm pretty sure this topic came up last year, but for the life of me, I can't find the thread.
It sounds like a travel to me. The guy is passing the ball to himself. There is nothing in 4-31 to say a pass cannot use your own backboard. If the kid has already eneded his dribble, has "control" of the ball, raises and returns his pivot foot to the floor before taking the shot, it's a travel.
I may be missing something (not for the 1st time), but it sure smells like a travel.
