Over the backboard from behind
APG (or anyone else) -
Legal per NBA, I'm assuming? I could see why, I suppose, at that level. I can't find anything about the backboard in relation to OB violations at all, though.

Yes, that's a legal play. For it to be OOB, it has to go directly over the top of the backboard (either way).

So any non-perpendicular to the backboard angle = legal. Interesting.
(I'm still embededly challenged. And I couldn't find the old sticky instructions. Which I couldn't get to work in the past, anyway. And I tried pasting in the YT embed code directly into the body. Apologies.)

The play you reference is from the 80's and was illegal at the times. The rule was changed some time ago.

Ruling part b: the ball remains live if it touches a side edge or the top edge if it rebounds and comes down in front of the backboard. <-----that sentence seems to contradict the next sentence: the ball becomes dead if it passes over the top of a rectangular backboard regardless of the action which causes it to pass over or whether it comes from the front or the back of the plane. So to me a live ball in bounds that comes from behind the backboard plane that passes over to the BB to the front is live but: a live ball from behind the BB that touches the top edge and returns to the back side is dead. And a live ball inbounds that passes from the front plane and goes over to the back is dead. So you can actually shoot from directly behind the backboard, throw it over and if it goes in it counts, is that correct. If so this appears to be another rule book/casebook contradiction. |
