RnR, Since the note I posted above does not specify one specific direction, you are correct in saying that it applies to a ball passing over the backboard in any direction.

It IS NOT illegal for a ball to pass over a rectangular backboard. What is illegal is for the ball to go BEHIND the backboard.

This couldn't be further from the truth.
The ball may indeed go behind the board without violation. It is only a violation for it be be behind the board if it got there by going over the top (which is the actual violation). If it is there from any other direction, there is no violation (as long as it doesn't touch the supports or back of the board).
Likewise, passing over the top from back to front, albeit very rare, is a violation.
