Backcourt ???

Could be an "alley opp" pass.

In our study group some actually broached the topic of time remaining (no shot clock) implying that it couldn't be a last second try. But is wasn't a try because the question said "pass". But even a pass that hits the backboard (and maybe the basket) is considered a "try" for the purpose of losing team control (via a recent interpretation).

Call it a "try" (based on the ball hitting the backboard/basket) and A1 can legally pick it up in the backcourt, and even start a possible new dribble.

Who ever wrote this test for IAABO liked adding extra stuff, possibly for us to ignore, or possibly to trick us? Basket instead of backboard? Hesitates? Team not benefiting from an error requesting a timeout?

And others I haven't mentioned here on the Forum.

2021-22 NFHS Basketball Casebook 9.5 Situation: A1 dribbles and comes to a stop after which he/she throws the ball against: (a) the team’s own backboard; (b) the opponent’s backboard; or (c) an official and catches the ball after each. Ruling: Legal in (a); a team’s own backboard is considered a try for goal. In (b) and (c), A1 has violated; throwing the ball against an 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. (4-4-5; 4-15-1, 4-15-2; Fundamental 19)
