Well Well Well,
After reading the different responses here and on McGriffs board.....I just don't know.
But let's think about this for a minute.
A-1 in his frontcourt and closely guarded by B-1, attempts a pass to his teammate near the division line. A-1's pass is deflected by B-1
and takes a high bounce toward the backcourt. A-2 runs into the backcourt and catches the ball before it strikes the floor in the
backcourt.
A1 in front court = A team Control
B-1 deflects pass in the air toward back court. A2 "RUNS" into back court and catches the ball "BEFORE" it hits the floor.
Now if the ball maintains front court status until it hits something in backcourt and A2 is now standing in backcourt isn't A2 the last player to touch the ball in front court and the first to touch in backcourt at the same time.
Now if only the player had let the ball bounce first. It would certainly be more clear as to the correct call.
