my reasoning on this was from an instance in a game where Player A had the ball and player B swatted the ball loose from player A causing the ball to roll off their leg and go backcourt, where another player From A retrieved it and it wasn't called backcourt, yet possession never changed and I was told from this forum that it should have been called backcourt. So, that was were I sort of reasoned my thoughts. I guess I was wrong, but I learn ya know  |
While "possession" may have never changed, a backcourt violation involves continuous "team control". And, team control doesn't continue through a dead ball. It ends when the ball goes OOB and it starts again when team A first holds or dribbles the ball inbounds.
