Probably no. If you shoot it OVER the rim and it hits nothing, it will go out of bounds and be awarded to the other team.

If the shot is from the corner, a team mate could get a rebound and pass it back.

So, possibly, but not likely.

AnswerNo, that would be considered travelling.

Well think about this if you shoot the ball over the backboard it will likely go out of court and tha ball will be awarded to the other team. but also even if you did shoot the ball over the backboard it is called a voilation of the rules so the other team will get the ball so most likely the other team will get the Basketball even if the same team catches the ball

Is passing off the backboard in basketball illegal?

It is not illegal to throw it off the backboard, provided that the ball hits the rim at some point. Any time a player does not hit the rim during a free throw attempt (whether it is inadvertent or not) he forfeits his free throw attempt, even if he has one or more free throws forthcoming.
