The top of the backboard is not OOB. However sometimes the ball contacts part of the basket/backboard support structure near the top and is OOB due to that contact. Same contact can happen with a shot clock mounted near the top of the backboard.
Unless it is a Fan-Shaped backboard. The top of that board is OOB.
You are correct that my post does not apply to a fan-shaped backboard. I am replying to this post that specifically mentions a rectangular backboard. In addition I am replying to the poster who pointed out he is aware the ball cannot go over the top of the backboard.

As others have posted, you are incorrect about a fan shaped backboard. The top of the that backboard is not OOB.
