Fun With The Division Line ...
Should this have been ruled a backcourt violation? Observe the play and make a ruling as to whether or not this should have been ruled a backcourt violation or a legal play.

Two choices: This is a legal play. This is a backcourt violation.
My comment: This is a backcourt violation. The four elements for having a backcourt violation are: there must be team control (and initial player control when coming from a throwin); the ball must have achieved frontcourt status; the team in team control must be the last to touch the ball before it goes into the backcourt; that same team must be the first to touch after the ball has been in the backcourt. Ball gained backcourt status when it hit the division line.
