RULING: The play shall be legal since the backboard is equipment located in A1’s half of the playing court, which A1 is entitled to use. (Rule 4-70.5)

Thanks for that. A further question, instead of shooting would he able to dribble again after throwing off backbaord?

Sure...play on. This rule is the same at all levels FYI.

9.5 SITUATION A: A1 dribbles and comes to a stop after which he/she throws the
ball against: (a) his/her own backboard; (b) the opponent’s backboard; or (c) an
official and catches the ball after each. RULING: Legal in (a); a team’s own backboard
is considered part of that team’s “equipment” and may be used. In (b) and
(c), A1 has violated; throwing the ball against an opponent’s backboard or an official
constitutes another dribble, provided A1 is first to touch the ball after it
strikes the official or the board. (4-4-5; 4-15-1, 2; Fundamental 19)

Nothing about a shot, or a try, in the caseplay, but it has to be a shot, or a try, to allow A1 to legally catch the ball.

He just wants to be Kobe and Lebron. :shrug:

As others observe, legal at all levels, provided it's the player's team's backboard. On the opponent's backboard you could have an illegal dribble.

"Sceptic?" I think they have medication for that, billy.

And the preventative medication is, well, you know, the first rule of officiating.

I think he meant "septic", which pretty much describes some of the recent threads.
