Hi,
I'm confused aubout Art. 30 FIBA rules Ball returned to the backcourt. BillyMac writes in "Most misunderstood backetball rules" that
"20) During a throwin, even under a team’s own basket, if the throwin is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; or after a missed field goal attempt or a missed foul shot attempt, if the ball is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; these are not a backcourt violations. In both cases team control, a player holding or dribbling the ball, has not yet been established."
So ball control is essential in this situations? Does it apply to the situation, when player A1 dribbles or holds the ball in his backcourt, player B1 tries to steal the ball (he taps it in his frontcourt) and the ball goes to the backcourt of team B. Then B2 recovers the ball in his backcourt. Similar situation is shown here:
11-0105 - Backcourt Violation - What is your Decision? - FIBA Basketball Rules - YouTube
But here referee whistled backcourt violation.
Could you please provide some similar video, where referee doesn whistle in this situation?
