OKREF A1 ,in frontcourt, passes ball. Passed ball lands on division line, spins back and bounces in frontcourt, where A2, picks up ball....
Camron Rust Team control? Yes Ball in frontcourt? Yes. Team A last to touch before it returned to the backcourt? Yes Team A first to touch after it returned to the backcourt? Yes All Yes? Violation, otherwise no violation.

Violation, otherwise no violation. This didn't happen in the opening post, and I should say A2 is in the frontcourt
SC Official OKREF wroteThis didn't happen in the opening post, and I should say A2 is in the frontcourt It didn’t? The ball returned to the backcourt when it touched the division line. The first player to touch it after this happened was A2. It doesn’t matter whether that touch occurs in the frontcourt or backcourt.
OKREF SC Official wroteIt didn’t? The ball returned to the backcourt when it touched the division line. The first player to touch it after this happened was A2. It doesn’t matter whether that touch occurs in the frontcourt or backcourt. So, the ball hit the division line, than bounced in the frontcourt....Once the ball bounces in the frountcourt, isn't it in the frontcourt?
just another ref It doesn't matter whether it returns to the frontcourt or not. The key phrase is "after it returns to the backcourt."
SC Official OKREF wroteSo, the ball hit the division line, than bounced in the frontcourt....Once the ball bounces in the frountcourt, isn't it in the frontcourt? Yes it is. And it’s still illegal for Team A to be the first to touch it.
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.
