I think my OP is confusing. Camron added the word "unsuccessful" to my OP when he quoted it and that is how I meant it. The player does not throw the ball over the backboard, so the passing over the backboard part of the rule does not apply.

The ball hits the top of the backboard and "rebounds" on the back side of the backboard. The way I read that, it would be illegal. It did not rebound on the front side of the backboard.

That is the way the case play is written...you've read it correctly as far as it is written. But, it is worded incorrectly.

As written, is says that a ball that is thrown from behind the backboard that comes down on the front side remains live. That is not true. It is a violation....as stated in the next sentence in the case.
