you'll love this answer re:1/2 court inbound airborne landing in back court...
i tell my players (and parents) you will learn the most important bball element from me i can teach you. never argue a ref's call. i, as a coach, and my players, and eventually the parents catch on, never ever argue any calls. or even come close. therefore, i assume the ref knows the rule of the question you are asking - makes the right call - and i don't spend even a second thinking about it.
so, my answer is i don't know. but a good question.
with regard to my initial over/back query, i hope i made it clear i asked the ref conversationally and politely during a play stoppage. and that was only because i thought a shot erased the possibility of back court.
i can talk all day about our american athlete's lack of respect for refs - i.e. the misguided infatuation with the b knights and billy martins and john mcenroes of the world ...
i look forward to this board because it reinforces how little i know about bball rules.
