Can someone just remind me the offical rule on over the back because a coach yelled at me last night for an over the back call and i wanna just clarify that ?

There is no such animal except in the minds of coaches
who listen to announcers and don't know how to teach blocking out.

yeah, you won't find "over the back" in any rule book, except maybe the fabricated coach's rule book (excluding hawks coach, of course...:))

Not only is...............
 

over the back not a call, do not penalize any player that outjumps or out plays another player for the ball. There is nothing wrong with a player making any kind of contact with a players back in itself. But if a player is pushed and moved, whether it is their back, side or chest, then you have something.

So if a player is from behind and just outjumps a player in front, this is nothing. It might be that the player from behind made a better effort for the ball. Or many times just might be taller.

One of those coaching myths.

Peace

Nicely done JRut
