I agree that one of the reasons the myth is still alive is that some officials still call it. I coach high school boys varsity. We have had three different officials this year that have called fouls and then gone to the table and reported it as "over the back" and then given the classic over the back signal. (both arms up over their head and hands reaching over)

At the beginning of this year, my assistant, who is an old time basketball guy, was yelling at an official to call an "over the back". I turn to my assistant and tell him that there is no such call, that if anything it should be a push. Two minutes later, the official reports an "over the back foul" My assistant looks at me and says "Thought you said there was no such call?"

So then tell me, what is a coach supposed to do? One game the official is calling an over the back, the next game the officials tell him there is no such rule, the next game it is getting called again?
