I had this same situation a month ago in a HS age select tournament. I was out wide so I could watch my line as they came up the floor, except I had a match-up to watch so I was watching the line in my periferal (sp). From what I saw, the dribbler had one foot in BC or on the line. I did nothing. When we went to the other end I had a foul call and ended up by the coaches and the conversation was short;

Coach: No way that was back court
Me: Coach, I didn't see it. I was watching the big guys down low.
Coach: Yea, they are starting to bang a little aren't they.
Me: Yep, give us some help with that so we don't have to blow the whistle.
Coach: OK, but for back court doesn't the dribbler have to have all 3 points in the front court?
Me: Yes...does that have a bearing on the play?
Coach: You really didn't see it did you?
Me: Nope...gotta run.

Did ask my partner about it, he said from his vantage point, the dribbler had all three in the front court. Made it a real short conversation.
