He was definitely trying to throw the ball toward the corner. The ball just happened to hit the bottom of the backboard, which brings us back to 9.5 and whether team control ended.

If the ball had gone in the basket instead of hitting the board, would you have allowed the basket? (remember, you said he wasn't trying to score)
