i'd call it a good play. long as it hits the rim and ft shooter doesn't cross the line before it hits why would it be against the rules

I don't know about NBA, but in NFHS it's legal. Extremely tricky, but legal.

I've seen more players try this and fail than do it correctly. Obviously, few practice it. I mean, gosh, how hard is it too just throw the ball real hard at the rim and get it back?

I've been around the block enough times to actually see a player in this situation make the shot.
