It's not ambiguous. It
does literally mean anything that's overhead. What term would you use to describe everything overhead? Whether the item has something to do with the game or not, it's OOB, if the ball hits it. You make it sound like it would be OOB if it hit a scoreboard but it wouldn't be if it hit a light that wasn't burning. That doesn't make sense. If it hits anything, it's a violation. Why does it need to be anymore explicit?
Are you playing debil's advocate?
