In bounding the the ball

[Scooby]

If when inbounding the ball it hits the backboard, side or front, is this a violation? I can not find it in the rule book.

[Nevadaref]

No violation. That's why you can't find a rule against it in the book.

You will find it in the case book and it says that this is legal.

9.2.2 SITUATION A: Thrower A1 attempts deception by: (a) causing the ball to carom from the wall behind him/her, or from the floor out of bounds and then into the court; (b) caroming the ball from the back of the backboard to a player in the court; or (c) throwing the ball against the side or the front face of the backboard, after which it rebounds into the hands of A2. RULING: Violation in (a) and (b), since the throw did not go directly inbounds. The throw-in in (c) is legal. The side and front face of the backboard are inbounds and, in this specific situation, are treated the same as the floor inbounds.

Thanks, I believed that it was the same as bouncing the ball off the floor, my partners disagreed.

[Nevadaref]

Show your partners the above cited case book play.

[Scooby]

The front, top, sides, and bottom of the backboard are all in play. The ball cannot pass over a rectangular backboard from either direction. The back of a backboard is out of bounds as well as the supporting structures.
