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?
As for number 2, the rules are not clear about what it means for the ball to pass over the backboard. Does 100% of the ball have to pass over the backboard? 50%? 1%?

So if only part of the ball passes over the corner, is it a violation? I don't know.
