Not back court
This is not the same as Out Of Bounds.
A1, trapped by B2 & B3 in BC with ball just shy of division line. B2 & B3 are in the FC. A1 attempts pass. B3 jumps (from FC) and blocks pass back into A1's hands.
This is not a BC violation. Trying to pull some similarities to the OOB situation, some of you are basically arguing that it would be a BC violation because the ball achieved FC status when B3 blocked the pass and that A1 'caused' the ball to regain BC status because he is standing in the BC. Not true - read Rule 9-12-2.
This is obviously not a BC violation because Team A never had FC control. It doesn't meet the requirements of Article 2 because B3 touched the ball. So it is not the same as the blocked OOB play where the thrower "causes" the ball to go OOB by catching it while OOB.
The rules do not say anything about the ball must have BC status before Team A may touch it after Team B was last to touch in FC.
I think some of you are adding more than what the rule says.
