Chuck,
Thanks for pointing out that change. I actually find the newest version the most problematic. It makes one immediately ask, "What if the player throws the ball against his/her own backboard while clearly NOT attempting to score?"
Do we now have to rule that team control certainly continues and make a judgment on player control, which would lead to calling this action a dribble.

We had a debate about this. A player would try this to dunk the ball after throwing it off of the backboard. My questions:

Is it correct to say that how a player throws the ball of the backboard must be taken into account? Meaning that, while running, the ball can be grasped with two hands and tossed against the backboard or sort of tapped/pushed to the backboard with one hand. Depending on the manner in which they do this it could be considered part of the dribble.

How many people would put a whistle on this?
