Backcourt Violation?

[scorfield]

Team A brings the ball down the court bring it into the front court. Some one on team A shots the ball, it bounces off the rim, and then is batted by an offensive player into the backcourt to another offensive player. Isn't this considered backcourt since team A had possession and control in the front court and possession never changed?

Some one told me that after a missed field goal attempt, if the ball is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; this is not a backcourt violation? He said that team control, a player holding or dribbling the ball, has not yet been established. This doesn't seem correct, is is?

Thanks in advance!
