Scenario: Player A shoots the basketball at his own basket, only hits
the backboard, gets his own rebound, and then shoots again and
scores. Does the basket count? Or is it an infraction since the ball
did not hit the rim? I'm certain that this would be an infraction if
Player A was shotting a free throw, but again in this scenario it is
not a free throw but a regular shot. Many thanks, any comments
welcome.

Scoring deliberately in your own basket is according to FIFA rules a
violation and the goal does not count.
The only (non-)effect of a field goal attempt which doesn't hit the
ring, is that the 24-second clock and the 3-second count doesn't get
reset.
