Great myth, but seems to have nothing to do with the OP. |

I think the point Billy was making (and perhaps skipped over) was that throwing the ball off your own backboard would be considered a try, and thus no dribble or travel violations could be possible, the same as retrieving the airball.
Maybe there is some confusion on whether the OP is asking about a player throwing the ball off the backboard of the basket they are defending? In the case of #4, in the case of an "accidental" vs. "on-purpose" shot hitting the rim, if it's a shot, the shot clock resets.

He did specifically say "your own backboard" in the OP, so there should be no confusion about that. I would say the way the whole OP is worded is confusing, though.

There is also the confusion/myth that the rules are the same for throwing the ball off either backboard. We hope the Mutant One comes back and is a little clearer in the question.

I think that FIBA defines it differently from FED / NCAA.

I believe you are correct.
Plus, other sports played here in the US define the goals in the opposite manner too....football and soccer are just two examples.
