Reference for Throwing Ball off Own Backboard

[Adam]

Can anyone reference a case play or interpretation or other ruling, directly from the NFHS, that spells out the legality of a player throwing the ball off his own backboard?

Current NFHS Case Book 9.5 Situation.

9.5. Backboard is players "own equipment."

Thanks, guys.

Just like throwing it off one's own headband?

The term "own backboard" refers to the backboard and basket that you are defending, correct???

NFHS 4-5-1: "A team's own basket is the one into which its players try to throw or tap the ball." Accordingly, the team's "own backboard" would be that to which said basket is attached.
This is a valid question, because, as it has been noted here before, I think FIBA's terminology is reversed from this. Anybody who speaks FIBA available to verify that?

Depends on whether you are using FED/NCAA rules or FIBA rules.

Under Adam's question, it's the basket into which you (usually) attempt to throw the ball.

I got "own" and "opponent's" backboard backwards (at least in NFHS rules). Casebook play 4.15.4 C clears it up:


4.15.4 SITUATION C:

After dribbling and coming to a stop, A1 throws the ball: (a) against the opponent's backboard and catches the rebound; (b) against an *official, immediately recovers the ball and dribbles again; or (c) against his/her own backboard in an attempt to score (try), catches the rebound and dribbles again.

RULING: A1 has violated in both (a) and (b). Throwing the ball against the opponent's backboard or an *official constitutes another dribble, provided A1 is first to touch the ball after it strikes the official or the board. In (c), the action is legal. Once the ball is released on the try, there is no player or team control, therefore, A1 can recover the rebound and begin a dribble.

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.
