It's not traveling.

It's not a double drible or an illegal dribble.

To my fellow NC official, NewNCRef, the play is perfectly legal. Throwing the ball off the opponent's backboard constitutes a dribble. Throwing the ball off your own backboard is perfectly legal, not matter the reason for throwing it. It is not a dribble, legal or illegal. It's not traveling as you can't travel unless you're HOLDING the ball.*

deecee is widely known for the misinformation he spreads. Ignore him. If I can help you farther, you can PM me. I'd be glad to hear from you.

*There's one exception that has nothing to do with this play.
