Geeze Camron, you just overstated your case again.

AT LEAST half of all possible camera angles will show the ball through the glass WITHOUT the ball going over the top - from the back.

Your rule of thumb does not apply to at least some of the views from the front. That number is what you're debating.

You're obviously very invested in your rule of thumb for some reason and I'm not at all invested in convincing you it's at best very misleading.

Good luck with it.

Not to mention that the camera angle from the endline doesn't have the ball blocking out any of the backboard before it goes "over".

Seems to me that a shot that goes over the backboard would need to pass the back side of the BB, at some point, to go over the back board.

I thought it was so obvious that the ball was not behind the backboard if you see the ball through the glass from the back. The whole context of the discussion is about the ball passing over the top.
