You seem to be disagreeing with my answer. If so, you might wish to reread the original post which I've condensed here to remove unnecessary info...

The ball never passed over the top of the board. This play is no different than a shot bouncing up to and on the top and falling back down in front of the basket. If it returns to the side from which it started without touching anything but the top of the board, it is legal.
