Opinions?

You might want to read the traveling rule, as well.
NCAA 4-70-1
Traveling occurs when a player holding the ball moves a foot or both feet in any direction in excess of prescribed limits described in this rule.
Throwing the ball off your own backboard is not holding the ball.
And yes, he can dribble again.
