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.
