"consensus" is a pretty strong word for what I think we have here.

Consensus? Count the inmates in the prison?

Ok, bad choice of words. Would most of you consider a thrown ball off the backboard a try? So if a thrown ball goes into the backcourt, it would be legal for the offense to recover it untouched by the defense?

Other than the "self alley oop", unless it appear to me to be an attempt to score I'm not counting it as a try. So if it goes untouched into backcourt, I'm paying particular attention to who is "first to touch".

No to both questions.

It's not a try, not a dribble, not a pass. It's a "something else" with it's own set of rules.

Yep, JAR is talking about a "concensus."
