A backcourt violation on this sequence of plays is awful.
Why do some officials come up with the most contrived rulings on plays that should just be straight-forward and obvious?
How can an official determine that the initial throw from the backcourt was a crappy pass vs a crappy shot? He can't.
Stop trying to be judges of intent and simply judge what happened.
When in doubt, make the obvious call.
A backcourt here isn't obvious — it is nit-picky, over-thinking, and wrong.
