A team is not allowed to throw the ball into the backcourt from a throw-in. The exception to this rule is in the final two minutes of the 4th quarter/OT. Team A may throw it into the backcourt. Also a muff/mishandling of a pass to a player in the frontcourt where the ball subsequently goes into the backcourt is a violation.
