What kind of court has more than one division line (that's effective at any given time -- I know some small courts have on line for going forward, another for going back)?

That said, if you judged any of A's "scoops" to be passes, then there was player (and, thus, team) control and you could have a backcourt violation. If you just judged that it was "batting" then you wouldn't have a violation. [/B][/QUOTE]

Am I missing something? It has been a really long day so bear with me guys. I'm probably either reading the original post wrong or I am temporarily (or not-so-temporarily) having a mental block.

What does player control or team control have to do with a backcourt violation if the ball has already attained frontcourt status? If the ball has reached frontcourt status, it doesn't have to attain frontcourt status again after Team A shoots the ball. It does not matter if Player A's play was a scoop or a catch and throw. It is my understanding that if any player from Team A is the last to touch the ball prior to it going into the backcourt and a member of Team A is then the first to touch the ball in the backcourt, it is a violation. Isn't it??? I'm so confused...someone please put me out of my misery.
