legal play? or Not?

OK ... can you say why this is legal?

Because the book says so!

Seriously, the reason why is not real clear but the presumption is that if the ball hits the board, it is, for the purposes of whether a player gets another dribble, considered a shot.

And the presumption that the ball is in A's frontcourt.

Can A1 end a dribble - throw it off th backboard, be the first to touch again and start a new dribble?

Yes, for exactly the same reason Camron mentioned.

im new to this site and wondering how u make a thread? thanks

But, what if it's not an attempted shot.

So, I guess what you are saying is that any time you strike the backboard with the ball it is a shot?
