Rules Corner: Missed Shot - Ball OVER the Backboard:

Great Basketball Pictures
"... On a missed shot, the ball hits the rim and bounces over and behind the backboard. The ball lands inbounds without touching the backboard supports. Is the ball still in play? ..."

No. It is a violation ( see Definitions and Discussion at the Global Basketball Encyclopedia from the eBA Stats ONLINE ) and the ball should be awarded to the opponent team.

The top, front, sides, and bottom of the backboard are all inbounds. Only the back of the backboard is out of bounds. If the ball passes over the top of the board, however, it is out of bounds at all the leagues, with exception of the International FIBA Rules.

eBA Statistical Register: an offensive missed shot and a defensive team rebound.

This topic is analyzed in the exposition " Basketball Rebounding " at eBA ONLINE.
