In order to not commit a self-pass does the ball have to hit the rim or does it have to make contact with any part of the backboard?

The ball needs to hit the rim, or another player first. The backboard does not prevent a self-pass (or travel). I was mistaken. As long as the ball "hits" something, other than solely the net, it is not a violation.

T-Mac did a self pass in orlando off the backboard and scored but nothing was called because the backboard is part of the rim.
-
if it hits anything besides the floor or out of bounds it is legal to pick up the ball and dribble again, however you would not get an assist if you scored a basket

A legitimate attempt at a shot can be recovered by the person who shot the ball even if the ball does not touch the rim, backboard or another player in the NCAA. Check out Section 66, A.R. 105 in the 2007 official NCAA rule book: A.R. 105. A1 attempts a try at Team A’s basket after having completed the dribble. The try does not touch the backboard, the ring or the flange or any other player. A1 runs and catches the ball before it strikes the playing court. Is this traveling? RULING: When A1 recovered his or her own try, A1 could either dribble, pass or try again. There is no team control by either team when a try is in flight.
