I don't think so.

RULE NO. 8-OUT-OF-BOUNDS AND THROW-IN
Section II-Ball
b. Any ball that rebounds or passes directly behind the backboard, in either direction, from any point is considered out-of-bounds.


So, there you have it. A ball that goes behind the board is OOB...doesn't have to touch anything...doesn't matter how it got there.
