Last night I was surprised by a backcourt violation......
BJV game. H1 shooting 2nd foul shot. Brick. Ball is rebounded by H2 who dribbles toward division line. Looks up and sees two of his team mates at the other end and heeves the ball to H3 who goes up for a shot.....
at the wrong basket! V1 actually goes up to block his shot.
Partner blew it dead as a bizarre backcourt violation.
Our only question then was where to inbound the ball? Was H2 in his frontcourt when he threw it to H3? Therefore the violation occurred where H3 caught the ball (under the other basket). Or was H2 in the backcourt when he threw it? Therefore the violation happened right there? We determined H2 was in the backcourt when he relased the pass and inbounded the ball at the spot of the violation in the backcourt near the division line.
My P was all over it thankfully......
