Here we go. Rolling up on the end of first half, team A to inboud in their frontcourt right near the lane. Thrower A1 hits the side/corner padding (corner where side and back of backboard meet) and the ball is caught by A2 near the corner before ball goes OOB, and she scores.

Of course, coach B doesn't like the no call I made as lead, and he's saying the backboard is OOB.

"Ahhh, but coach, only the back of the backboard is OOB," I say. "The ball hit the corner, not necessarily the back."

Coach accepts that reasoning and we go to the half. I asked my parter about it, and he said he would not have called it either. Is this ruling correct. Would I have caught more greif from coach A if I would have ruled it OOB?

Thoughts?

Yer good.
It didn't hit the back, or it would not have bounced to the corner.

Agreed. If it's hits the back of the backboard, where will it rebound? Backwards.

If there's any doubt, "No, it didn't hit the back."

Yes, and from your evaluator for blowing a call.
