What happens if the inbound pass touches the backboard/rim/basket before it touches a player?

Question

Scenario: Player A is attempting an inbound pass alley-oop to Player B, but the pass hits the backboard before it touches any other player.  Would play proceed?  Does the clock start at that point, or does it not start until the ball touches a player?  Or is it a violation that would result in a turnover?

I think play would proceed.  Clock starts when player touches the ball.  As long as the ball touches something that is legally inbounds it should be okay.
