Illegal dribble or not?

I was trying to find if this is an Illegal dribble or not. I was watching sports center about 3 weeks ago and I saw a play where A1 recieved an imbounds pass in his backcourt and shot at the opposing teams basket, missed, got his own rebound and continued that for about 4 missed shots before his teamate rebounded for him and dribbled up to the front court.

I know that the rule is that when you stop your dribble and then use the opposing teams basket and you get your own rebound it is considered a second dribble and is illegal. But there was no dribble just a catch and several shots off the opposing teams backboard. I feel that the officials missed the call of an illegal dribble but I'm not sure even after looking in the rule book and case play books.

What say you?

Already talked about:

"Shooting" at own basket

Illegal dribble

Maybe I am missing what you are trying to describe, but it is not a dribble to just have the ball off the backboard. A dribble demonstrates control and is a purposeful act, not something in an effort to control the ball. And maybe I was not understanding this, but the offense is trying to score on their basket if that matters to your situation.

Peace

I asked this because the opponents basket is the one you are not trying to score at for your team. People get this mixed up often as other sports the goal might be considered the opponents goal like in football for example.

understood sir. I was just curious if because there was no dribble (pushing or slapping the ball to the floor) if it changed anything. I was 99% sure it didn't because of the second shot and rebound at the opponents backboard by the same player. I just wanted to make sure.
