Backcourt violation rule change? (over and back)
NFHS--Yesterday, we had a girl dribbling up the sideline in the backcourt. A couple of feet before she gets to half-court, she jump stops, then pivots so that one foot crosses the half-court line. So she still has 1-2 points in the backcourt (as she's pivoting, the ball may have crossed or it may not have--I was paying more attention to the pivot foot and the action around the ball handler as she was being trapped).
As the ball handler pivots back to being completely in the back court (all 3 points), B's coach goes nuts and wants an over-and-back call.
I wasn't even thinking backcourt violation because the ballhandler maintained at least one point in the backcourt.
B's coach is saying there was a rule change this year that the ballhandler didn't have to have all 3 points over.
I just checked the Federation site and looked at the rules changes for 2007-2008 and I don't see anything close to that.
Did I miss something?
