Also, We had A5 catch an inbounds pass with his first foot landed in the frontcourt and then his second foot landed in the backcourt. Legal? I let play continue, but B's coach was furious.

1) Walk thru this--- A2 is straddling the division line catches a pass.. Team control right? Now once he picks up his backfoot ball has front court status ...Once he puts his backfoot back down in back court he now is Backcourt... Blow it over and back and go the other way...

2) Nice scenario. Ther is an exception to juping from front court catching the ball and landing backcourt. Obviously you have a problem with the first foot hitting front then a second one in back ( obviouly not simultaneously) I dont have my rule book or case book out here,[ but if I am wrong I will take the heat.. a whole lot better from you guys than the Iraqi's with mortars... well maybe...] but I would call it under the same reasoning as above...

Watch for incoming rounds on that!
