One of our guys actually had this same exact play in his high school game a few weeks ago.<br /> <br /> Regarding treating this as a dribble and player control, the NFHS does not define (4-9-1) the division line as a boundary (only the four perimeter lines are boundaries), and thus the dribbling near a boundary line and touching the boundary line with a foot while not contact with the ball (9-3-1-Note) does <b><font color="Red">not</font></b> apply here.<br /> <br /> <i>4-9-1: Boundary lines of the court consist of end lines and sidelines.<br /> <br /> 9-3-1-Note: The dribbler has committed a violation if he/she steps on or outside a<b><font color="Red"> boundary,</font></b> even though he/she is not touching the ball while he/she is out of bounds.</i><br /> <br /> <b><font color="Red">Could someone please explain to me exactly why this was called a backcourt violation?</font></b><br /> <br /> <i><b><font color="Red">NFHS Backcourt 9-9-1: A player shall not be the first to touch the ball after it has been in team control in the frontcourt, if he or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt.</font></b></i><br /> <br /> NBA and WNBA make this perfectly clear:<br /> <br /> <i>2024-25 NBA Rules Rule 4, Section VI.d(2): A ball being dribbled is in the backcourt if the ball or either foot of the player in in the backcourt.<br /> <br /> 2025 WNBA Rules Rule 4, Section VI.d(2): A ball being dribbled is in the backcourt if the ball or either foot of the player in in the backcourt.</i><br /> <br /> Not so clear in NFHS.</div> </td> </tr> </table> </div>This (bold in red) was <b><font color="Red">not</font></b> a rhetorical question.<br /> <br /> Enquiring minds want to know. </div> <!-- / message --> <!-- sig --> <div> __________________<br /> <font color="DimGray"><font size="1">"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
