sounds like this was called correctly given the full scenario set-up.

Slow whistle is another valid point... I missed a backcourt violation the other day but was slow enough that no one even made a peep...

A1 throw-in from near mid court. A2 jumps from front court catches ball ... will land completely in back court... I'm thinking this is going to be okay... A2 now throws (still in the air) to A3 who is in the back court...

I'm thinking whoa! Wait a minute! was that a backcourt violation?

Ball is now in frontcourt. Too slow/too late to whistle now.

No one even squeeled for backcout violation. I have a feeling that if I had called it there would have been some squeeling.

I am correct that this was a violation, aren't I?

A2 has frontcourt status when he makes the catch and per NFHS rule 9-9-3 is allowed to land in backcourt.

However, with pass to A3, ball now has went from FC to BC and does not meet the particulars of rule 9-9-3.

By the time I recognized the violation and could have blown my whistle I was too late and would have had all kinds of coaches and fans that would have been ready to argue. I feel my lack of confidence and preparation for this particular situation would have caused this controversy. Next time I will be ready and will have the crackers out of my whistle.

Surely someone has a comment about this particular BC play.
