I believe that this is not a violation. But cannot find a casebook support.
I remember an interpeter or casebook back a few years stating not wanting to penalize good defense. The example was if B2 catches the pass and tries to stop and teters before the division line then falls over B2 tried to stop but couldn't, no violation. He also said you will catch some heat but it is the correct call.
What are your thoughts on this officials?

Tweet! Back Court violation......
With one exception, isn't the mid-court line treated the same as the endline and sideline? Would you ignore the violation if B2 caught/stole a pass just prior to falling across the endline/sideline? (of course not) So why would you ignore the violation at the mid-court line?
