IAABO Exam - Throws Ball Against Own Backboard ...

[BillyMac]

Maybe get rid of the "own backboard" casebook interpretation completely. Use the rules as they already exist in the rulebook, and allow officials to use judgment.

Get rid of "equipment". Get rid of automatic try.

Official deems it to be a try. A1 can catch it and legally dribble again. If fouled, A1 gets free throw(s) for in the act.

Official deems it not to be a try (maybe it's a pass). A1 cannot legally catch it (treat backboard as the floor (rule change or casebook change may be needed for this, now it's just the opponent's backboard) and the pass as a dribble). If fouled, it's a common foul and penalize accordingly.
