Over the back is short-hand for being pushed in the back. So while it's technically wrong, that's what people are trying to express.

In fact, I've heard actual coaches call for an "over the back" call from the bench. Granted, these are usually really bad coaches...
The TWSC announcers used the term tonight. WTF - If there is illegal contact that happens to be "over the back" - then - it's "over the back"...jeesh. Semantics. When was the last time you called a "shot", or "attempt", a "throw"? But technically there is something called a "Free Throw".....

Edit to Add:

And I guess Ray Stevens would have been just blasted on Bball forums/boards for calling it a "Free Shot" back in 1974 :) (youngins may need to Google that)

I refer to a thorw as the shot from someone who has no business shooting. ;-)

Agree - or "Throw", or "Chuck"...
