With about 3 or so seconds left, a Miami Heat player dribbled the ball across midcourt (ball and player achieved frontcourt status). Said player then stops and passes the ball to a teammate who catches the ball with his foot on the midcourt line. What was funny was at the beginning of the second quarter, they were praising the no call because his foot was on the line. Never heard announcers claim the line as part of the frontcourt...otherwise, they wouldn't chime for a backcourt violation whenever a dribbler in the frontcourt stepped on the line. Around the beginning of the 4th quarter, they finally got the correct interpretation.

Dan Crawford was the slot on the play and in the best position to see it, but passed on the play. It should have been a backcourt violation.
