Now to add a little physics to this thread...
When the ball hits the backboard, how can you tell which surface was hit (aside from the obvious cases)?
For a ball thrown from behind the backboard that hits a near "corner/edge" of the backboard, you can tell which surface it hit by the direction it rebounds. If it at all rebounds towards the baseline, it hit the back. Otherwise, it hit the side/bottom.
For a ball thrown from behind the backboard that hits a far "corner/edge" of the backboard, it hit the back.
You don't have to see where it hit at all, you can deduce from the path of the ball...which is much easier to see.
A ball thrown from the front of the plane of the backboard, even just slightly, will never hit the back of the backboard without first hitting something else (short of some serious english).
