Since you are using a pronoun, "he", not sure to whom you are referring. Ball was in BC when #2 touched it.

It was in the air over the backcourt and still had FC status. The ball didn't touch the floor until AFTER the touch. So at that point it had backcourt status, but it needed to be touched by another (or the same) white player for it to be a violation.

Had that white player tipped the ball in his save attempt, such that the ball bounced almost right down the midcourt line, and was recovered by A2 reaching over the time line such that he stayed entirely in the front court, is there a violation there? Same question, but if the ball took 2-3 bounces in the back court before landing in the FC, and was then recovered?

The ball either hits the division line or doesn't in your first scenario, which are you intending?

Sorry, I mean it is rolling in the backcourt. No player in team A touches the ball while that player has BC status in my scenario.

Yes, agreed, accept it was then touched by another player, #2.

#2 and the ball both had frontcourt status when he touched it.

[Altor]

Just so everybody is clear White #2 is the wing that is opposite the table. I can't see the numbers of the player who made the errant pass or the one who tried to "save" that pass (the wing on the table side).

The whistle is blown shortly after the table side player touches the ball. It should not have been. #2 eventually picks up the ball in the back court in the center circle.

Right, so No. 2 is just picking up a dead ball. That doesn't suddenly make an incorrect backcourt call correct.

[Altor]

I don't disagree. Just trying to clarify Bucky's comments.

Technically, it should have been an IW, with ball back to white. That's picking nits on what was going to be an obvious violation.
