Didn't this use to be an illegal play? Either that or I am losing it! Maybe I am thinking on free throws it has to hit the rim? and that you cannot throw it off the backboard essentially to yourself when shooting a free throw?

Not that I'm aware of. On FTs it must hit the rim (or go in) to be legal. Otherwise, it's a FT violation.

All it has to do is hit the board. No try necessary. The pure airball/rebound has to be a try to not be a travel.
