Isnt it only a double dribble if the ball DOES NOT touch the rim?

Say A1 dribbles, then shoots a 3. Ball bounces off rim back to A1, who drives to the hoop and makes a layup? What's the call?

Irrelavant. By definition it is not even a shot since it is at the wrong basket. Player catches ball after dribbling, throws the ball up in the air towards the opponents goal (may or may not hit the backboard or rim) then catches the ball. You've got one of two things: a travel (if it didn't hit anything) or an illegal dribble (if it did hit).

Illegal dribble as soon as A1 caught the rebound of the missed 3. Read case book play 4.15.4SitC(a).

Does it matter if the shot at the opponents basket does not hit the backboard, and only hits the rim? A1 shoots at the opponent's basket, the shot rebounds off of the edge of the rim and is caught by A1. I'm asking because the rule only mentions the backboard.

No, because it's not a "shot". It's considered a "dribble".

Except that his point was to ask whether its a dribble if it doesn't hit the backboard but only the rim (or perhaps nothing at all....an airball). Is the rim considered part of the backboard for the purposes of this rule or is the rim simply another object floating in space? If the latter (or it was an airball), you can't have illegal dribble but you could have traveling.

In this case, who cares? Wrong signal, maybe, same result.
