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

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

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.

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.
