Shot from Behind the Basket
Offensive player shoots the ball from behind the basket. A) Shot goes in. B) Shot misses. What is the correct ruling in both?

Is it legal for the ball to go over the backboard (in either direction)?

Ball is OOB if the backboard is rectangular, regardless if the shot is good or not.

And "play on" if the backboard is fan-shaped in both cases.

Right Down The Street ...
Event though the basket didn't count, this was still one of the most incredible shots ever made at the old Hartford Civic Center.

Honestly, I had never seen this happen before. My partner and I talked about it at length after the game, and he was pretty sure it was OOB but not 100% and neither was I. Thanks to all of you for your feedback.

7-1-2b: "The ball is out of bounds . . . when it passes over a rectangular backboard."
