Hanging Backboard Padding

[spret93]

In the case that the backboard padding on the side/lower corner of backboard is hanging slightly off of the glass, is this padding in bounds or out of bounds? (I know the proper answer is the padding should be fixed, but I can find a rule or case play addressing if it isn't). Thanks.

Is it fixed to the bottom, or to the back?

It's the L-piece that wraps from the side to the bottom.

Then it's not attached to the back. I'd call it legal.

The front, top, sides, and bottom of the backboard are all in play. The ball cannot legally pass over a rectangular backboard from either direction. The back of a backboard is out of bounds, as well as the supporting structures.

I also read that. Is padding hanging off the glass still part of the side of the backboard? Just asking for some interpretation help here.

If the padding is on the side, and the ball hits the padding that's on the side……

LRZ, go ahead and call that OOB a few times, then send us video of the inevitably tense explanations you'll be making to coaches. I'll buy popcorn.
