Here is the rule verbatim fronm the FIBA rulebook. The way I read it, Crazy is correct, once it has touched the backboard it cannot be touched (like the NBA rule).
31.2 Rule
31.2.1 Goal tending occurs during a shot for a field goal when a player touches the ball
while it is completely above the level of the ring and:
• It is on its downward flight to the basket.
• After it has hit the backboard.
