I'm pretty sure that this USED TO be the rule. Kids on the play ground would call it "self pass." But about 7-10 years ago they changed the rule in the NBA that if the ref determined that your intent was to shoot at the basket(but you just missed completely) that it was legal.

I can say with 100 percent certainty that this is correct, except that the rule was changed in the NBA about 4 years ago and only applies to the NBA.
