9. Player A1 passes the ball and it hits his backboard. May Player A1 be the first to touch the ball?
Yes. A player may be the first to touch his own pass if the ball touches

Is this the same for NFHS? I had this play in a varsity boys high school game. Player attempted a pass to a player who was cutting - the ball was a bit high and hit the backboard, the passer quickly reacted, caught off the board and then made a dribble a scored.
This was a head scratcher to me. I was working with two college officials and they had nothing.
