Not just fans. This exact situation happened to me last weekend in a JV game. I was T, A has a throw-in from their frontcourt endline, girl passes the ball to A2 in the frontcourt, who tips it and the ball goes into the backcourt. A2 then retrieves and I do nothing. All of a sudden, the L from the endline blows the whistle and calls the backcourt violation. I admit, I wasn't 100% sure but upon conferring I said there was no possession so no violation but L and C were adamant, so we stuck with the call. In the locker room after the game, the varsity officials who were there agreed with them, with one essentially castigating me for not getting it.
