Had a kids game with a friend and I was trail, I called it out as simple geometry dictates that at that angle it would have had to hit corner for that trajectory. Partner disagreed more to the point it was his call. Our discussion became is corner out.

Any shot directly hitting flat surface on side straight on would come straight back

I feel its an easier call when ball takes an odd angle and heads towards OB.

Of course you could let ball continue OB and it's a moot point, but there could be rebounding possibilities.

Ironically after we had a our spirited discussion, the next period, as I was lead, it hit side of backboard and came straight back, followed by another try with same results. We both had a good laugh.

Couldn't find any rule supporting either side.

In the 'if it walks like a duck' file.
