According to the 60 Seconds On Officiaiting website this is always considered a try form goal:

"Throwing the ball and hitting the backboard of the TEAM IN POSSESSION is always considered a TRY for goal. Even though the attempt (a soft toss or a hard carom off the glass) does not look like a legitimate try for goal".

You could look it up:

You could also look up the location of Jimmy Hoffa's grave on this website. I'm sure that it will be as accurate as some of their other information. Now try to "look it up" for a NFHS, or IAABO citation? Good luck.

One of the difficulties is in reconciling the "BC" interp with the "not a double dribble or travelling" interp.

You can reconcile these by determining that it's always a try (as 6-seconds does), or by adding an element of "intent" (and I'm not sure that's quite the right word). If the player intends for the ball to hit the backboard (or basket), then consider it to be a try; if they don't then judge it to be a really bad pass.
