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?

We don't have to call it a try for goal. It's legal to throw the ball off one's own backboard.

It may or may not be a try in the judgment of the official, but it's legal. So, unless the lob off the backboard was a free throw , then I guess the dunk is allowed.

It is NOT a try unless you think they're trying to shoot it. It is just a throw off their own backboard. And such action is entirely legal. It isn't a pass. It isn't a dribble. It isn't a try. It does not, however, allow a new dribble if the player has ended the first dribble unless you rule it to be a try. The case mentioned above that rules that the subsequent dribble is legal is because the play setup declared the throw to have been a try.

I'm going to disagree with that part because of 9.5 Situation.

Nothing in 9.5 indicates or implies that the player is granted a new dribble, just that trowing it off the board and catching (which is not a dribble) it is legal.

I don't see any thing that suggests the dribble rules are suspended.
