I believe everyone is assumming the ball is comming from the rim side & traveling toward to endline as it goes over the top of the backboard (BB). When the ball goes over the top of the BB it is OOB. Therefore it doesn't matter which direction the ball is traveling. For instance, a fade-away jumper by Larry Bird which travels over the BB would be OOB in NFHS even if the ball doesn't touch anything but the bottom of the net. I have worked a few games (rec league) were a kid shot the ball, by accident, behind the BB. The ball usually hit the backside of the BB.
