Maybe I'm confused by the whole thing - not to challenge you, but can you quote me a rule / case reference for this one???
Absolutely, this is a judgement issue. Maybe you can tell
me - A1, all by himself, in his own front court, picks up
his dribble at the top of the key or in the paint and
tosses the ball such that it bounces off his own
backboard. How is this a pass and not a shot?
