made me question myself because i didn't know whether or not that was also true in hs games. so,

1) shot goes up, off rim, bounces over backboard (without touching anything) rebounded on back side - violation?

2) player shoots from endline near basket and ball goes over the corner of the backboard from back to front and in - violation?
FIBA -

1) no violation

2) basket counts (and Larry Bird did it in at least one game I remember against the Lakers c.1980)
