The Clue

"Backboard without hoop is dull" (4)

Definition

Our definition here is 'dull', and our answer will be another word for that.

Indicator

This clue's indicators are 'Back' and 'without'. 'Back' could be a selection indicator telling us to take the 'back' letter of 'board', or it could be a reversal indicator guiding us to put something in the opposite direction. And 'without' is a deletion indicator - we'll need to delete some fodder from some other fodder.

Fodder

This clue's fodder is 'board' and 'hoop'. We'll use the letters of one of these with a short substitute for the other to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s). Hint: we'll need to think about what letter might correspond with a shape referenced in the clue.
