Self Pass

Mark, I don't think the word rebound makes their play a shot. If they had meant a try or shot, I don't think they would have wrote "throws the ball." I can't think of another word other than "rebound" to describe the ball coming off the backboard. Perhaps the NF's vocabulary is as limited as mine!

Look up "rebound" in the definitions section of the rule book.

I believe they're telling us that this is a legal play.

Yes, they are, which is another inconsistency in the language of the rule book.
