Is (c) legal because this is a try or because the player throws the ball against his own backboard?

How did Billy get Freddy's password?

Anyway, my answer to the above question is "yes."

Can somebody give a situation where throwing the ball off your own backboard (per NFHS rules) is not a try for goal?

I'm actually asking... not trying to quiz anybody.

An errant pass.

Okay, I should expand...

Throwing the ball off your own backboard and having a violation. Like if a player lobs the ball off their backboard, gets the rebound in the air and slams it (like we've seen in NBA slam dunk contests). Would you call that a violation?

Could be basket interference if the ball was in the cylinder.

but otherwise you're calling the lob off the backboard a try for goal, and allowing the dunk that follows?

Break-away situation. Player alone decides to show off. He tosses the ball off the backboard, then runs and jumps to grab the ball and dunk it.

The throwing of the ball off the backboard is clearly not an attempt to score, but it is legal because of Case play 9.5

The caseplay states that, after ending a dribble, it's legal to throw the ball against one's own backboard, and it's also legal to catch it.

It doesn't say that it's legal to start a new dribble (unless the official deems the throw to be a try).

Why is equipment in quotes? Could the player use his leg sleeve to do the same thing? Leg sleeves are equipment.
