I was at the gym earlier today, playing a pickup game, and had a shot roll across the top of the backboard and drop for 3pts. Everybody immediately told me it was OOB and no bucket. It didn't touch any supports or anything. Now I know its a good shoot and should have counted but arguing against everyone was of no avail.

Afterwards one of the guys playing came to me and told me he knew I was right, except in some states. His high school team lost the state championship on a basket that was waived off because the ball rolled off the top and went in. My question is what states if any have this rule at the HS level and under what rules are they playing? I know some states aren't using Fed but I can't imagine something as simple as this being different in any other set of rules.
