Thanks for the comments Marty. You'll notice in my first post that I already admitted to missing the call and certainly have no problem admitting the mistake. I can sit down after nearly any game and think of a call or two that I might change with the precious commmodity of time to reflect.
The "spirit of the exception rule" is nothing more than the rule itself. It provides an exception to the normal over and back violation which occurs when a player jumps from front court, catches a pass, and lands in backcourt since a player is always in the location where his feet last left the floor. The "spirit" is that we are making an exception.
I have thought about other similar scenarios to try and prepare for their occurrence during a game. Here is one for you:
A1 in bounds to A2 who has both feet in the air. A2's first foot lands one inch inside the division line in front court just before the second foot lands one inch from the division line in backcourt. Your call?
