Fun With A Jump Ball ...

Is this a backcourt violation? The airborne player had frontcourt status when he caught the ball and landed in the backcourt. Should a violation have been ruled?

Two choices: This is a backcourt violation. This is not a backcourt violation.

My comment: This is not a backcourt violation. During a jump ball, any player may legally jump from his frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor, and return to the floor with one, or both, feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing, and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt, or the backcourt.
