I don't know what would make you think that it's "likely" for the NBA and FED to have identical interpretations. FED interpretation is that it's OOB if the ball passes over any part of the backboard. NBA interprets "directly" to mean pretty much "the middle of". You won't see this called in an NBA game unless the ball pass over the very center of the backboard. Like when a shot hits the rim and bounces up and over the backboard. Or when an inbounder throws the ball over the backboard to a teammate standing in the lane.

A few years ago there was a clip of Larry Bird shooting a 12 footer over the corner of the board and the ref was in the video waiving it no good. This has been talked about before on this forum. I saw that clip.
