Thanks Nevadaref.
4-35-2: When a player is touching the backcourt, out of bounds or the three-point line, the player is located in backcourt, out of bounds or inside the three-point line, respectively.
So non-dribbling Black 33, holding the ball with her right foot fully in the frontcourt and her left foot on the division line, with part of her shoe in the backcourt and part of her shoe in the frontcourt, still had backcourt status.
If her left foot had been her pivot foot, she could have legally pivoted so that both feet were in the backcourt.
It's not a "three points" dribbling across the division line situation. It's not a pivot foot situation. It's a player location situation.
Raymond is correct, the Center should have let the Trail (not) make the call.
