I work a JuCo Conference in which my supervisor is a D1 official.
I called a backcourt violation in a game in which A1 was in his frontcourt moving towards the division line towards the loose ball coming his way. He grabbed the ball with his left foot in his frontcourt (he at no time jumped during this sequence nor did he cross or contact the division line) and his right foot was in the air. After grabbing the ball his momentum caused him to step into the backcourt.
After the game my observer questioned me at length about the validity of my call.
So maybe there is some unwritten leniency towards b/c violations at the NCAA level.
