Got a question, and if I ask it at our meeting, it will be plain as day i am questioning the officials who made the call at a game I was at (and that is a big no-no in our area for some reason with basketball officials...).

A1 inbounds the ball at half court inbounds the ball. A2, who was standing in the front court, leaps over the half court line, catches the ball, and lands in the back court with the ball. This was called as over and back.

My understanding is that in order for the ball to achieve front court status, both feet and the ball must be in the front court. At that time, the restrictions of over and back begin. Since the ball had no status in regards to front or back court when out of bounds, A2 didn't violate, because the ball was never in the front court to go "back" from.

Was the call correct, or is my understanding of the rule?
