Another Myth Bites The Dust ...
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.

But, the rules are different for a "fan shaped" backboard. Casebook 7.1.2, Sit A.
