Clearly a backcourt according to NFHS. I made this call numerous times this year, even though 75% of the fans, 50% of the coaches and usually 33% of the refs on the floor disagreed with me. I am now convinced that this is the number 1 missed call in all of basketball. (Isn't the NCAA rule the same as NFHS?)

Unless I am missing the description what you describe is not a violation. According to you, K-State caused the ball to go into the back court. It is perfectly legal for the team in control of the ball to go back and get that. Now if Xavier touched the ball before the ball went into the back court, then you are correct that is a violation.
BTW, the rules are the same for NF and NCAA. At least they are by the written rule.
