Use of own backboard (not a try)

I think it's an illegal dribble and a violation.

I saw the play. The play is still legal...that throw against the backboard is a try.

You should look at the basketball rules fundamentals:

S. A ball that touches the front face or edges of the backboard is treated the same as touching the floor inbounds, except that, when the ball touches the thrower's backboard, it does not constitute a part of the dribble.

The play in question would only be a violation if he was throwing the ball off his opponent's backboard.
