Wrong basket

Whether he misses or if the ball goes in, designated throw-in at the spot nearest the foul.

A1 receives a pass in his backcourt. For some reason A1 gets confused and throws a set shot toward the wrong basket, never lifting his pivot foot off the floor. The ball clangs and bounces around the basket and backboard, and finally falls fall off the rim and bounces on the floor. A1, with one hand, taps the ball the the ground and keeps on dribbling, now in the right direction. Legal? Right?

I believe this is key... never thought of it before. Thanks

BillyMac, I would say that would be a legal play. The "set shot" would be the start of the dribble, and since they continued the dribble when the ball hit the floor and did not catch and start a NEW dribble - what you described is an illegal dribble.

And if a player attempts a jump shot at the wrong basket and gets their own rebound, it's a violation because the dribble was started with the pivot foot off the ground, right?

It's a violation because the pronoun doesn't agree with the antecedent.
