"Over the back" is a reasonable description of the common rebound foul. Unfortunately, becasue it's sometimes a foul, some have come to believe that it's aways a foul.
That doesn't follow logically -- but some parents / fans / coaches (and, yes, officials) don't have much logic.
(It's the same with "reach" -- being a reasonable description of illegal use of hands).
