Basketball Registering Stats Referred Questions:
Ball against the Backboard... Can this player begin a dribble.... ?

"... A player has not yet dribbled, throws the ball against a backboard and catches it again before the ball has touched another player. ...
Can this player begin a dribble.... ? ..."

Fundamentals of the Basketball Rule=
If a player deliberately throws the ball against a backboard ( not attempting a legitimate shot for a goal ), this is considered the same as if that player has bounced the ball on the floor. If the player then touches the ball again before it has touched ( or been touched by ) another player, this is considered to be the same as a dribble.

Basketball Game Rule=
After catching the ball ( ball comes to rest in his hands ) the player in this case may shoot or pass but may not begin a new dribble.

eBA Basketball Statistical Registration=
In case the player in this case makes a new dribble has committed a violation and we register an unforced turnover.

All the terms in this answer are explained widely at The eBA Basketball System Book and in eBA Clinic ONLINE.
