Passing to yourself

[MOFFICIAL]

I had a situation happen to me while officiating summer men's league at the YMCA.
Dribbler A tosses ball toward the basket. The ball hits backboard and same player is there to dunk basketball. The toss did not look like a shot but it did hit the backboard.
I called nothing.
What would you have called?

If you determined his first move (the shot off the glass) to be a legitimate shot attempt, there is no violation. On the other hand, if he was definitely "passing" the ball to himself, then it is a violation.

Disagree -- at least under Fed rules, the play described is legal. See case 4.15.4C (I hope that's the right reference -- this is from the 98-99 rule book).
