The "over-the-back" issue

What has any of this got to do with "over the back?"

Nothing; isn't that the point.

But, to get back to OTB . . . I've been trying the following semi-Davism lately:

A1 goes over B1 to grab a rebound but there is not enough contact for a foul.
Player/Captain:"Over the back, ref!"
Me:"No such thing."
P:"What do you mean, 'no such thing?' It's a foul!!!"
M:"Find it in the rule book and I'll pay you ten dollars."
