It would be impossible for a pass or try attempted from behind the backboard to touch the top and come down in front of the backboard without passing over the backboard. since it does not come down in front of the backboard does that make this play illegal? Which contradicts most posters opinions.

I believe you are correct. The setup in the situation does say the ball starts from the front or back while the ruling says it remains live if it comes down in the front.....that s wrong. It has to come back down on the same side to be legal....front if it started from the front.
