the air space behind the backboard is out of bounds, therefore once the ball passes behind the board it team that last touched it is considered to have caused it to have gone OOB.
(This happened tonight in a HS Scrimmage that I was working, well almost, the try bounded high off the rim, began to bounce/roll along the top of the backboard and before it could roll off behind the glass it came to rest along the main vertical colum that the backboard is mounted to, and the thought crossed my mind, I wonder if an officialo has ever "gone to the arrow" on this play!
