Welocme to our site -
Experienced refs do NOT have a problem with over and back and know the rule better than anybody. It is often a point of emphasis and there are numerous examples in our case book and illustrated book. You should come to this site as often as you can to learn the rules. For example, A1 is inbounding at half court. A1 passes to A2 who catches the ball in the frontcourt while airborne and lands on both feet in the backcourt with the ball. Is this over and back?

Jack - I'll let some of the newbies try to answer your question. I just wanted to say how fate works in mysterious ways. After discussing the over and back rule here yesterday, I had the "weird" call last night in a summer league game. A1 dribbling in front court. B1 slaps the ball off A1's leg into A's backcourt where it was recovered by A1. Over and back call - coach A yelled, "But she hit it." Like I've never heard THAT before. "It went off your player in the frontcourt into the backcourt where she touched it coach - that's the rule" was my reply.
Maybe it's karma.
