Under both NCAA and NFHS rules, it is legal to touch the ball on a shot after the ball has touched the backboard as long as the ball is still on the way up. Iow, it's a judgment call.
Board--> touch on way up---> legal.
Board-->touch on way down---> illegal.
Forget about the height of the rim. That's irrelevant under the rules.
And no, you wouldn't automatically count the basket under high school rules either. Both NCAA and NFHS rules are the same.
