Backcourt Violation

[BillyMac]

The four elements for having a backcourt violation are: there must be team control (and initial player control
when coming from a throw-in); the ball must have achieved frontcourt status; the team in team control must
be the last to touch the ball before it goes into the backcourt; that same team must be the first to touch after
the ball has been in the backcourt.

He's confusing concepts. The exception that allows a player to catch a throw-in pass doesn't apply to anyone but the first player to touch the ball, but that doesn't apply to any other situation on the throw-in.

He's also getting that concept incorrect, but that's a different thread for your next conversation with him. I'd question whether he's "knowledgeable" about the rules. He may well be a great official, but his rules knowledge is suspect.
