Throw-in question

A1 has ball out of bounds in the back-court. Throws in to A2, who is the the front court-- but it is a bounce pass, and the bounce was in the back-court. Is that over-and-back?

Um, no. Why would it be?

I think you mean "adjacent to the back-court." That might help answer the question (or the similar question where the ball bounces in the FC and is recovered in the BC)

During a throw-in, the ball does not have backcourt or frontcourt "status" until it is possessed in bounds. Since possession is first gained by A2 in the frontcourt, no it would not be.

I wouldn't say that. It has frontcourt/backcourt status as soon as it touches the floor or a player inbounds. However, it usually doesn't matter until after it is in player control.

Someone can perhaps find definition of "status" but I think location of the ball is defined as where it is (roughly speaking). So ball touches BC therefore the ball's location is BC. Then it goes to A2 and then ball's location is FC. Sound right?

Does status = location?

Don't believe that possession is part of definition of location. No book handy though.

The rule book uses "location" not "status" and a balls location is defined based on what the ball is touching (player or court) or last touched. None of which matters to the OP.

Yes, although the case book has references to the word "status." Case 9.9.1 sit D comes to mind and it happens to involve a BC ruling.

Is it safe to say that "location" and "status" are synonymous as far as NFHS rules/cases? Can anyone provide evidence that would suggest otherwise?

So let's change the play in the OP

A1 throwin near the division line. A1 throws a bounce pass to A2. The ball bounces in what will be A1's FC then comes up to A2 standing in A's BC.

Still Ok. Must have team and player control established in the front court before a BC violation can occur.

What's the difference between that play and the play were A3 in the FC deflects the ball into the BC and A2 retrieves it?

Incorrect. There must be PC established anywhere on the court AND at some point TC in the FC.

No difference, if they are both during throw-ins.

Not what "will be". It IS A's FC. It is always A's FC whether A has the ball or not. It is just that it doesn't mean much until A has control of the ball.
