In NF, the rectangular backboard has six sides - front, back, top, bottom, right side, left side. Only the back is OOB. A ball passing over the backboard from behind, or a ball going over the top is considered OOB. On a fan shaped board, a ball going over the top is not automatically OOB unless it hits a support. You can also shoot over a fan board from behind.
