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.

Many of us agree what "own backboard" means, but I know there are people that still confuse that term with the basket that is being defended.

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.

I knew that's what you meant, don't let the knuckleheads get to you.

Again, treat it like the floor and apply the pivot foot and dribbling rules accordingly. It's essentially a dribble.

ok, and I assume the shot clock would continue in that case.
If A1 shoots at B1's basket and the ball bounces off and B1 touches it but does not gain control and A1 gets the ball back does the shot clock continue for team A. Would the 10 second backcourt count continue?
