Cool, thanks for the explanation. One more question tho.. lol
So it would be mostly a judgment call on whether or not it would go in?

Yes it would be a judgement call, but it's pretty obvious when the ball doesn't have a chance to score. Also note, that this rule is for NCAA and not for NFHS. Under NFHS rules, we still have to judge whether the ball is on it's downward flight off the backboard.

That's what us old guys get paid to do, make judgement calls.
