Let's look at a more realistic practical situation, a situation most of us have really seen a few times.

Ball handler A1 is dribbling in his frontcourt very near and parallel to the division line. The dribbled ball strikes the division line, bounces up, and is touched by A1 who is fully standing in his frontcourt.

Backcourt violation.

Where is ball inbounded, in the new backcourt (closest spot to violation), or in the new frontcourt (the nearest of the four designated frontcourt throwin spots to where the violation occurred)?
