That's right. Throwing the ball off your own backboard is treated as a dribble. If a player has picked up (ended) his dribble and then throws the ball off the backboard, that would constitute an illegal dribble.
A player who receives the ball, throws the ball against his own backboard, and continues to dribble the ball after it returns to the floor has not violated.
I've never seen either one.
