So, do all 3 points (both feet and ball) have to cross half-court at the same time to constitute being in the front court? Like, if a player puts one foot across half-court, and then brings it back-court, is that a violation. Of course, this player has the ball.
Just to make sure we're clear on this, the "3 points" only applies during a dribble. A player does not have to touch the FC with both feet and the ball to have FC status. This is a common misconception. That's why Hoosier was correctly discussing a player who was pivoting while straddling the division line.
