Another 3-seconds question

Now, it only restarts if it hits rim but not if it hits backboard...correct?

This is yet another possible explanation for these strange three second calls on rebounds. I know that many refs get confused as to what constitues a shot attempt (espcially with NCAA shot clock rules), and many of my players can't hit the broadside of a barn! We have airballs and hard off the backboard shots far too frequently. Good discussion, as usual.
