Actually, I was wondering this year why the FED still mentions that a jump ends when the ball hits the backboard -- then it dawned on me that this is probably a holdover from the pre-AP days when balls were jumped at the FT line.

Actually,Rich,I think that they use that language to tell you when the restrictions listed in Rule 6-4 are supposed to end-i.e.when a touched ball contacts something in bounds other than one of the jumpers.
