Wouldn't it be a violation the moment she touches it after it hits the rim since no one else touched it?

Why (assuming she hadn't moved her pivot foot)?

Won't the striking of the rim be her second dribble?

*A-1 dribbles, then stops. (One dribble.)
*A-1 "fires the pass", hits B's rim, and catches the ball.

By rule, two dribbles, right?

4-4-5 A ball which touches ... the backboard is treated the same as touching the floor inbounds.

1-7 an 1-10 define backboard and basket (which includes the ring) differently.

Maybe they mean them to be the same, but it's not what it says.

Of course, since a try ends when the ball touches the floor, and the backboard is the same as the floor, ...

Would it NOT be a try though since it is not her basket?

How many of this exact same conversation do we need? Bizarre.

I can understand the basket and backboard being separate entities in the frontcourt, but what could be the reasoning to do that with the backcourt? I have not been able to find a reference one way or the other.

Yes, in this play.

But, I meant that last toungue-in-cheek comment more generally.

A2 launches a try. The horn sounds. The ball hits (a) the backboard or (b) the floor and then enters the basket.

Ruling?

I know what we'd all do (count it / don't count it), but the wording in the rule ...

I agree with this interp. Just insert "ball bounces back to player" after "hits B's rim." That is where your second dribble starts but I wouldn't call it until A1 touches it again.
