Re: the back court case - remember this. A1 in frontcourt with ball, ball gets loose, ball touches floor in frontcourt then bounces up and hits official who is standing in backcourt, then ball goes back into frontcourt without touching anything else in backcourt and is recovered by A1 in frontcourt. This is a violation. The fourth element of an over and back call is that the last team to have touched it in frontcourt is first to touch after the ball has been in the backcourt , not that the ball must still be in the backcourt when touched.

Try 'splaining that to a coach. I have had to at least twice in my career. It wasn't fun.
