No case play that I know of but it is included in the back of the rules book in the grid showing "major basketball differences" NFHS vs NCAA
NFHS= Player touches the ball during a try/tap while it is in its downward flight entirely above the basket ring level and has the possibility of entering the basket in flight.
NCAA = Same as NFHS and includes a ball that is touched after it contacts the backboard when it is entirely above ring level - considered to be on it its downward flight.
I don't call NCAA but as I read this, in NCAA it may still be legal to touch a ball after it has contacted the backboard if it was not entirely above ring level when touched.
