I agree. Giblets stated it was a violation when the ball hit the floor. It is not. Only when offensive player is first to touch it.
9.5 is the play where A1 dribbles, comes to a stop and then throws it off of opponents backboard. Opponents backboard is the same as floor. The play says violation by A1 provided he is first to touch it.
