The bottom of the board is in-bounds, so that's legal- except for one specific situation that you have to watch out for. That situation is an endline throw-in that hits the bottom of the board at the same end and then bounces in-bounds but back towards the endline. To do so, the throw-in must have hit the back of the board instead of the bottom. The back is OOB, so that would be a violation. If the ball bounced straight down or towards the court in front of the board, it must have hit the bottom. The FED issued that play a while ago.
