Not a myth, just an NBA rule and 9 times out of 10 you will see Div. 1 refs call it that way or at least the guys I know call it that way cause the play happens so fast and for you to distinguish if the ball is still on its upward flight after hitting the glass is very hard, all the while looking for contact on the play. It is much easier to notice the ball hitting the glass and then seeing if its touched compared to seeing it hitting the glass, seeing if its still on its way up, oh wait.... he got bumped.... oh wait after the ball hit the backboard was it still going up? haha
