When a player does a slam dunk and breaks the glass backboard does the point still count?
If the ball goes all the way thru the hoop before the glass breaks then yes it counts.
When the ball is at a thrown in spot and then is passed into the court then goes untouched out of bounds where is the ball placed for the throw in?
Start at the backboard and go thru the hoop.
If the ball goes over the backboard in the NBA is it out of bounds?
The Ball is still in play. Back surface is the only out-of-bounds part of the backboard. (Supporting elements, such as pipes or poles or arms, etc. are obviously not part of the backboard or rim and are out of bounds.)The ball traveling OVER the top of the backboard is OUT of bounds. I believe this rule was put in place because Wilt Chamberlain would score from the other side of the board.Some sources say that if the backboard is 'fan shaped' or arched top, then the over-top rule does not apply, but does if the backboard is rectangle.It's amazing to me how many times this happens at the gym and players call it out of bounds. Cmon! You gotta know the rules if you want to play the game. No one ever knows this rule, but here it is:Rule 4, Section I - c. All five sides of the backboard (top, bottom, both sides and front face) are in play. As long as the shot stays on the top of the backboard, it is still in bounds. When it falls through the basket, the goal counts. But once the ball crosses over the backboard - regardless of where it comes to rest - it is out of bounds.
Is it out of bound if the ball hits the side of the backboard in basketball?
that made no sense at all... It does make sense or atleast I understand, I do believe that it is considered out of bounds. I could be wrong but I think that if it goes over the backboard most refs call that out.
Is it considered out of bound by defender if defender blocks a shot and the ball touches rim or backboard and goes out of bound?
Yes. The shooting team would get the ball.
What is the use of a Backboard?
The backboard is used to bank the ball off of. The box on the backboard (right above the basket) is used as a guide. If you hit certain spots from certain sides of the goal, the ball will always go in the basket if thrown with the right technique.

no it can not. once it hits or goes over the top of the backboard it is officially out of bounds and its the other teams ball
Golf Par 3 if the other player got on the green now you hit your ball and your ball hits his ball and goes in is this a hole in one?

Can a basketball legally hit the top of the backboard?
It is not legal under NCAA rules:Art. 3. The ball shall be out of bounds when it passes over the backboardfrom any direction.In NBA the rule is slightly different:b. Any ball that rebounds or passes directly behind the backboard, in either direction, from any point is considered out-of-bounds.Note the word 'directly'. Here's the official interpretation from NBA vice president of referee operations Joe Borgia in 2009:"Think of the backboard as a long tunnel that goes straight back," Borgia said. "If the ball goes through that tunnel, it's a violation. If you looked at Rondo's shot, it was an arching shot up and over the backboard. It never passes through the tunnel."This is why Bird's shot is waived off while other shots that flew over the backboard but not from behind the backboard are valid.Bird's shot is legal under FIBA rules.
Does the clock start when an inbounds pass hits the backboard?
The shot clock restarts to 24 if the ball touches the rim or goes in.
If a pitch is hit does it count as a strike or a ball against a pitcher's pitch count?
I think you're asking, "if the pitcher throws a ball that is waaaay out of the strike zone, but the batter swings at it anyway, does it count as a strike?" The answer is YES - if it were a foul ball it would count as a strike, so why should it be any different if it is put into play?
