Rule 4
SECTION 35 PLAYER LOCATION
ART. 1 . . . The location of a player or nonplayer is determined by where the player is touching the floor as far as being:
a. Inbounds or out of bounds.
b. In the frontcourt or backcourt.
c. Outside (behind/beyond) or inside the three-point field-goal line.
ART. 2 . . . When a player is touching the backcourt, out of bounds or the three-
point line, the player is located in backcourt, out of bounds or inside the three- point line, respectively.

So, you're saying that the entire backboard is actually OOB since that is where it is mounted.

Now that is the kind of thinking which this discussion was to inspire!

I thought it was illegal for any player to throw the ball off the opp backboard to himself front or back. you can do it off the board you are shooting at not the opp board?

It's not illegal to throw the ball off the front, side, or bottom of an opponent's backboard in and of itself. The status of your dribble determines the legality.

I thought the rule says you cant dribble out of bounds there for since the throwing off the board is considered a dribble it would be illegal?

Did you read my entire post?

Why do you have the idea that the entire backboard is OOB?

All correct, except your seeming assumption that the backboard is OOB. Only the back is OOB.

Sorry if someone got this already... but this seems pretty straightforward.

7-6 Article 2. "The thrower shall release the ball on a pass directly into the court, except as in 7-5-7 ("player may pass the ball along the end line to a teammate(s) outside the boundary"), within five seconds after the throw-in starts. The throw-in pass shall touch another player before going out of bounds untouched.

Back of the backboard is out of bounds, so a pass that hits the out of bounds backboard untouched is out of bounds untouched-- violation.
