Ball out of bounds
Is the ball out of play when it goes over the backboard? I believe it is out of play if it hits the back of the back board.

Is there a section in the federation rule book where this is addressed?

Thanks.

The ball is out-of-bounds if it completely passes over a rectangular backboard or if it touches the supports or back of any backboard.

NFHS rule 7-1-2.

I made this call last night but my partner said that since it did not hit a wire or support that the ball was still in play.

Assuming it was a rectanfular backboard, you were correct.

If it was a fan-shaped backboard, your partner was correct.

First of all, you got the call right.
Secondly, even if you didn't, don't fall into that crap trap.

I'm sure the missed FTs/layups, a few turnovers, along with some poor coaching played a larger part in determining the outcome of the game than the 1 call did.




FYI: The NOTE following Rule 7-1-2 is the most important clarification for this situation.

You use the same logic if the ball goes OOB and goes over a cheerleader. It matters whether she is rectangular or fan-shaped.

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

The same goes for the cheerleaders.

So, with this logic .... the Top, Sides and Front of the Cheerleaders are in play. The back side. Out of Play.

Their supporting structures are out of play too.
