Pass Goes Behind the Backboard, Through the Supports

[grunewar]

Yikes, heck of drawing is right!

I won't take out my rule book and shove it in a coaches face, ever.....but can you see waving off a basket stating it came over the backboard and when the coach calls a TO to "discuss", you reach into your back pocket and pull out CAMRON's art and say, "OK coach, let's review."

ouch this thread hurt my brain.
So to clarify because some things are getting jumbled

1.from baseline pass(out of bounds) illegal- pass goes over the backboard
For example after a made basket player is running the baseline and is underneath the backboard and throws a pass over the backboard that does not touch anything.
2.illegal- airball shot from in front or the side that goes over the backboard. Does play stop once it goes over?
3.illegal- shot hits the rim and goes over
4. illegal- shot from behind the backboard goes over and into the rim
5. Not 100% sure on this one- pass goes from the side between basketball supports without hitting anything.

Here's the unjumbled version: it's a violation for any part of the ball to pass over any part of a rectangular backboard at any time.

Pass, shot, throw-in, front-to-back, back-to-front, side-to-side, whatever!! Doesn't matter. If the ball passes over the rectangular backboard, it's a violation.

AND, it's not a violation to pass BEHIND the backboard.

Hope that helps.
