After securing the ball in the air, A2 then lands in the backcourt.

My call: Backcourt Violation.

My partners call: legal play

We got together on this, and he insisted that it was a legal play...and did so in front of the coach to begin with...... and during our conversation it was obvious that he didnt agree with my call.

Rather than argue, after the conference, I blew my whistle and we gave Team A the ball back.

Constructive Criticism Please
Legal play.

On a throw-in, the rule allows A2 to jump from the FC, catch the ball and land ion the BC. Brush up on rule 9-9 and the case plays under 9.9.
