I think the reference to the ball hitting the basket or backboard goes way back to before we had an alternating possession procedure.
Back in the old days when I played, we actually had a jump ball on all held ball situations, and there was a jump circle at each free throw line for held balls in that area. From there, a tipped ball could easily hit the rim or backboard.
