Seldom seen but still an exception to your answer. It would apply in the OP.
An exception to my exception - If backspin provide the impetus for the ball to come back from whence is came, it might not have actually hit the backside of the backboard. This sitch is seldom seen except in gloabe trotter and exebitions of that sort. However I have never seen my exception the the exception.
Edited to add exception to the exception.
