The question is, if it misses the ring but hits the backboard is the ball still in play for rebounding?

Just to add the specific rule reference ...
9-1
ART. 3
After the ball is placed at the disposal of a free thrower:
a. He/she shall throw within 10 seconds to cause the ball to
enter the basket or touch the ring before the free throw ends.
