I knew you would evade the question by making up a new senario.
Look Slider, he didn't make up a new scenario. He stated a FACT. In many of the gyms he works, the basket supports are directly above the backboard. So if the ball passed directly over the backboard from side to side, it would of necessity hit a support. Therefore, as a logical necessity, if it didn't hit a support, it didn't pass directly over the backboard.
Obviously, Chuckie you don't get it. I never said anything about the way a basket was supported. Half the gyms in this country are supported from behind with cable running from the back of the board to the wall. But you probably never have seen one of these boards in your limited career. You can't or won't answer my question and you have no way to explain your way out of this expect to make up "what ifs" to help you out.

A basketball can roll, touch, or pass DIRECTLY OVER the top of a backboard with out touching any supports and NOT BE DEAD. PERIOD. You can come back with what ever excuse you want but you CANNOT tell me those things are illegal. I've said enough on this subject.
