I wonder if there is some technicality that I'm missing...
- A1 inbounds the ball from their frontcourt endline.
- The inbound pass deflects off of A2 while in the front-court, and rolls into the backcourt.
- A3 retrieves the ball in the backcourt.
His ruling, "Backcourt Violation"
He says that if A2 retrieves the ball, rather than A3, it is not a backcourt violation.
Am I missing something? I don't see that Team Control in the front court has been established.

Any conversation that includes one team member being allowed to retrieve the ball, but not another team member, is not a knowledge-based conversation.
