A friend and I disagree on whether or not this is a backcourt violation. " Team A moves the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and clearly establishes it in the frontcourt. Team B double teams the Team A's point guard at midcourt and he begins to dribble backwards from the front court to the backcourt. His feet cross the midcourt line but the ball never does. He continues to dribble the ball in the front court while his feet are in the backcourt". I say as soon as his feet come in contact with or cross the midcourt line it is a backcourt violation. My friend says it is dependent upon where the ball is. In his interpretation if the ball never crosses into the backcourt it isn't a violation. Whose right?
