Unfortunately I disagree. In the Sit posted, A is the last to possess the ball while it still has frontcourt status. Therefore it is a violation. However I do not believe the questions that Ref in PA posted meet this criteria. I can not site the rule, but I do believe based on the questions posed, that Team A would have to be the last to touch in the frontcourt and first to touch in the backcourt. We do still allow Team A to pick up a deflected ball in backcourt after it touches the floor in the backcourt correct? For instance
Question 1. He did not say A1 caught the ball in the air, only that it deflected off of A1, which to me is the same as touching the floor and now A1 may pickup the ball without violating. Is my thinking incorrect?
