Backcourt exception on throw in

On A's throw in from near the division line... A-1 throws in and A-2 tips the ball in the frontcourt and in goes to the backcourt where A-2 goes and picks it up. I have NO backcourt here as I explained to screaming Coach B. Can someone point me to the rulebook/casebook reference? I know no team control on the throw in (except for fouls) so one of the three things necessary for backcourt is not there.

As you can find in many other threads you need 4 things for a BC violation. Team control inbounds, front court location of ball, last to touch in the front court, first to touch in the back court.

In your case you never had team control inbounds as A2 never had control of the ball in the front court.

The four elements for having a backcourt violation are: there must be team control (and initial player control
when coming from a throwin); 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.

(Note: Red added when the NFHS added team control (for foul purposes only) to throwin situations.)

Billy,

Thanks for reiterating what AR said ......another fine example of you padding your total number of posts.
Shouldnt you be in the middle of an 8 game day with hot moms that arent interested in your slide rule....

That's the only way, by padding my stats, that I can maintain my Esteemed Forum Member status.

Hot single moms aren't interested in slide rules any more, that became passé back in the 1970's when calculators became common.

As a hobby, I take photos of sunspots. Now, sunspot photos are a real chick magnet. Yes they are.

Great pickup line: "Would you like to come up to my place and see my etchings, I mean, my sunspot photos?" Works every time.

Thanks to all. I guess you are correct also because it is
not an "exception". Knew I had it correct and can scare me that my partner didn't. End of a close game/last possession could cost someone a win.
