Not sure what the point is about "legal" backboards. NFHS puts a rulebook out, and then you ref the games where they are played. Most HS gyms have the normal plexiglass backboards. The places you tend to find a lesser board is in rec centers, elementary schools, and some middle schools. You play with what they got in my experience.
We played with a rectangular wooden backboard and no markings on Sunday. Ball bounced off the board fine and it was securely fastened (i.e., no safety issue). I have played games in that rec center for 5 years with the same BBs. They have 30-40 games per weekend there. Is it legal by NFHS diagrams - no. Do we use NFHS rules - yes. Did we play the game - yes.
