Technically, a player could, during a dribble in the backcourt, legally continue to dribble and hop on one foot all the way to the frontcourt baseline and back into the backcourt. (as long as 10 seconds didn't expire).
This is the funniest senario I have ever heard!
Agreed. I'd love to see somebody try it. Hawks Coach, you gonna test it out?

Just to clarify, this is a backcourt violation because the player did not make a normal landing, so the exception does not apply. [/B][/QUOTE]
Disagree. The whole point of the rule is to allow an airborne player to land, even if the feet land frontcourt, then backcourt. You let both feet touch, regardless of where they touch the court or in what order (as long as they're both inbounds, obviously). This is exactly why the exception was put in.
