How about instead of "overhead equipment", we substitute the phrase "any object above the level of the top of the backboard"? That's explicit.

Whether the item has something to do with the game or not, it's OOB, if the ball hits it.

Why does it need to be anymore explicit?
Precisely b/c it's not explicit.
