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  |
You've got it now.
From the defintion of Control, Player and Team in the rules book:
4-12-2 . . . A team is in control of the ball when a player of the team is in control, while a
live ball is being passed among teammates and during an interrupted dribble.
4-12-6 . . . Neither team control nor player control exists during a
dead ball,
throw-in, a jump ball or when the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal.
