These situations are ones that I face a lot in one MS gym where I officiate often. It is small and has stationary backboards that extend very close to the back lines. When we pre-game, different partners view them differently. Some say it should be dead. Others say we should make a judgement and possibly replay it. Both groups have been adament about their position.
Some site 9.3.e to call it dead. Some site 9.8.3h to make judgement on a replay. Truth is, it has never been a factor in one single game I have done there... and I've done several. Because of their proximity to the court (and since this is MS ball) I tend to come down on the the side of a replay although I have never actually measured the distance from the endline.
