1) For a backcourt violation to occur, team control in the frontcourt is required by 9-9-1. In the situation stated, team control in the frontcourt is not attained.
2) Many have found this outline to be helpful in identifying whether or not a backcourt violation has happened. According to this, the situation expressed does not qualify:
For a backcourt violation to occur, there must be:
A. Team control (and initial player control when coming from a throw-in);
B. The ball must have achieved frontcourt status;
C. The team in team control must be the last to touch the ball before it goes into the backcourt
D. That same team must be the first to touch after the ball has been in the backcourt.
