Billy, you've been reffing way too long and been involved in way too many rules discussions not to know frontcourt/backcourt status.
I find it extremely hard to believe you didn't know the proper ruling for this play. What you're saying is that for your entire career you thought that a player holding a ball while straddling a division line had frontcourt status. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

Hey, at least I was smart enough to know what I didn't know, that I wasn't 100% sure of my answer, and to bring my question to the Forum for continuing education. Plus there were too many confusing lines on the court. And there was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! It wasn’t my fault, I swear to God!

Blame The Locusts ...

I should have viewed the situation as a player who caught a pass while straddling the division line, which, in this simplified version would have led me to the correct interpretation, that is, to allow the player to legally pass the ball wherever she wanted to.

I just noticed the issue. This court is confusing. The division line is the white line and this was an incorrect call all the way. Sorry if that was stated, I just tried to see why there was a disagreement.
Peace

Pivot Foot ...

Maybe this is a pivot foot situation. Call what you see. Don't call what you don't see.

It happened to me two years ago. I recognized my mistake immediately, declared an IW, and we carried on. Nobody minded. I suspect it wasn’t the first time the home coach saw that happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

This was clearly not a BC violation and was likely caused by the court configuration. But change it and move on. Peace

Parallel Lines ...
We have a high school court here in my little corner of Connecticut that has black lines parallel and very close to (inches) both dark blue endlines (with little room behind said endlines). I've worked there dozens of times, always pregame it with my partners, yet we still occasionally have inadvertent whistles.
