Backcourt ???
From JoeTheRef: "Backcourt violation could possibly be on this list, especially when the entire gym sees little Johnny or Sally bringing the ball up the court and never completely comes into the frontcourt (1 foot and ball in frontcourt, other foot on the division line) and returns completely into the backcourt. THAT'S A BACKCOURT.. I KNOW YOU SAW THAT MR. REF!! My response is usually I saw what you saw, but one of us knows the rules and the other doesn't".
From "List": "19) A ten-second count continues when the defense deflects or bats the ball in the backcourt. When a dribbler is advancing the ball into the frontcourt, the ball maintains backcourt status until both feet and the ball touch entirely in the frontcourt."; 20) During a throwin, even under a team’s own basket, if the throwin is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; or after a missed field goal attempt or a missed foul shot attempt, if the ball is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; these are not a backcourt violations. In both cases team control, a player holding or dribbling the ball, has not yet been established.; 21) During a throwin or jump ball, any player; or a defensive player, in making a steal; may legally jump from his or her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor, and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or the backcourt. These three situations are not backcourt violations.
JoeTheRef: What do I need to do to make these more clear? Thanks for your input.
