If you shoot the ball and it is deflected after it hits the backboard but is still on its way up is this goaltending?
As far as NBA rules go, yes. If a ball is touched after it has touched any part of the backboard above ring level, it is considered goaltending regardless of whether the ball is on its upward or downward flight. If the ball touches the backboard below ring level and is touched on its upward flight, it is considered goaltending; downward flight, no goaltending. Of course, the official also has to rule that the ball would have had a chance of going through the ring for goaltending to be called.

Is it out of bound if the ball hits the side of the backboard in basketball?
that made no sense at all... It does make sense or atleast I understand, I do believe that it is considered out of bounds. I could be wrong but I think that if it goes over the backboard most refs call that out.
Can you get the rebound if it only hits the backboard?
Not all lay-ups hit the backboard for example a finger roll.
Is a ball that hits only the backboard considered an air ball?
no, and I'm guessing you mean basketball rules and regulations ahah.
If a basketball hits the back of the basket is it out or in?
The ball is out because the back of the backboard (goal) is outside of the court.
What is goaltending in basketball?
Section I-A Player Shall Not:a. Touch the ball or the basket ring when the ball is using the basket ring as its lower base.EXCEPTION: If a player near his own basket has his hand legally in contact with the ball, it is not a violation if his contact with the ball continues after the ball enters the cylinder, or if, in such action, he touches the basket.b. Touch the ball when it is above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder.c. For goaltending to occur, the ball, in the judgment of the official, must have a chance to score.d. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball after it has touched any part of the backboard above ring level, whether the ball is considered on its upward or downward flight.e. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball after it has touched the backboard below the ring level and while the ball is on its upward flight.f. Trap the ball against the face of the backboard. (To be a trapped ball, three elements must exist simultaneously. The hand, the ball and the backboard must all occur at the same time. A batted ball against the backboard is not a trapped ball.)g. Touch any live ball from within the playing area that is on its downward flight with an opportunity to touch the basket ring. This is considered to be a "field goal attempt" or trying for a goal.h. Touch the ball at any time with a hand which is through the basket ring.i. Vibrate the rim or backboard so as to cause the ball to make an unnatural bounce.PENALTY: If the violation is at the opponent's basket, the offended team is awarded two points, if the attempt is from the two point zone and three points if it is from the three point zone. The crediting of the score and subsequent procedure is the same as if the awarded score has resulted from the ball having gone through the basket, except that the official shall hand the ball to a player of the team entitled to the throw-in. If the violation is at a team's own basket, no points can be scored and the ball is awarded to the offended team at the free throw line extended on either sideline. If there is a violation by both teams, play shall be resumed by a jump ball between any two opponents at the center circle.cnnad_createAd("299234","http://ads.nba.com/html.ng/site=nba&nba_pos=160x600_bot&page.allowcompete=yes¶ms.styles=fs","600","160");
If the ball goes over the backboard in the NBA is it out of bounds?
The Ball is still in play. Back surface is the only out-of-bounds part of the backboard. (Supporting elements, such as pipes or poles or arms, etc. are obviously not part of the backboard or rim and are out of bounds.)The ball traveling OVER the top of the backboard is OUT of bounds. I believe this rule was put in place because Wilt Chamberlain would score from the other side of the board.Some sources say that if the backboard is 'fan shaped' or arched top, then the over-top rule does not apply, but does if the backboard is rectangle.It's amazing to me how many times this happens at the gym and players call it out of bounds. Cmon! You gotta know the rules if you want to play the game. No one ever knows this rule, but here it is:Rule 4, Section I - c. All five sides of the backboard (top, bottom, both sides and front face) are in play. As long as the shot stays on the top of the backboard, it is still in bounds. When it falls through the basket, the goal counts. But once the ball crosses over the backboard - regardless of where it comes to rest - it is out of bounds.
Can you jump and shoot the ball off the backboard come down and get your own rebound and go back up and shoot the ball again?
Yes, as long as the ball hits some part of the goal, its not traveling.
Can a shooter recover his own shot that did not hit rim or backboard?
Yes and no. If someone else touched the ball, then you are eligible to touch the ball again. If no one touched it and you grab it again, it is considered traveling.
