What she did was slap it out of the players hand, so was last to touch in the frontcourt and first to touch in the backcourt. I said that they did not have team control in the frontcourt so this could not be a backcourt violation. My partner is quite good with rule knowledge so I was surprised when he didn't have this one.

You mean consulted with, right?
