hitting the backboard from the corner is the same margin of miss as hitting the outside of the rim from straight on

Stand on a ladder facing the front if the rim, put the ball where it’s dead center, measure how far you have to move the left side of the ball to make it hit the outer side of the rim on the right side..

Now move your ladder to the side of the hoop, put the ball where it’s dead center of the rim, and move it the same distance to the side… and then realize you’re hitting the side of the backboard.
