The official hands the ball to A1 in the backcourt in close proximity to the division line, A1 goes within his 1m to the frontcourt where he inbounds the ball, to A2 who is in the backcourt. The official rules this is a backcourt violation, is the official correct. (Yes or No)
Now when I submitted my test I put no, but there was alot of debate after we had all written it. My thinking was that the sidelines cut off the division line; however the debate was you are deemed where you are on the floor, and that he was in the frontcourt.
Any thoughts?

If it is a spot throw-in from the backcourt, the ball can be passed in the backcourt even if the allowed 1m movement takes the player past the division line. The relevant thing is the original spot of the throw-in.
