I saw if for the first time last night

I have actually seen this happen twice in ONE game! It was a boys middle school game. My partner and I could not believe it happened TWICE. Another interesting thing that happened in a game me and the same partner did was to have a shot go up from the end line corner, opposite side of the court from me as lead; I watched the players underneath for the rebounding action and everyone just stopped and all of them were looking up at the back board. After a second or two of this inactivity I looked up and the ball was rolling as slowly as it could on top of the backboard. It rolled the entire length of the back board and fell off the other side were we continued with the game. It was interesting how quite the entire gym was during the time the ball rolled the length of the back board.

What if the ball had rolled to a stop on the top of the backboard? You make the call. By the book. Pretend it's a written exam question.

Options:

a) let the clock run out
b) call it dead and use the arrow (2-3)
c) allow someone (or multiple someones) to slap the backboard and play the ball as it bounces down (or OOB if it falls off the back)
