Ball Status

Does the status change?
BALL LOCATION AND STATUS
When the ball is in contact with the backcourt or a player in the backcourt, it is considered to have backcourt location and status. A1 is dribbling the ball in THEIR Backcourt. They pass the ball towards the division line. B2 is straddling the division line. B2 hits the ball and it bounces back to A1. Team control DOES NOT change. Does Team A get a new 10 second backcourt count or does the original count continue?
Remember B2 is straddling the division line. Thus B2 is located in Team B's backcourt (Team A's frontcourt). Does this change the STATUS?

B2 touching the ball is still in the BC if they are touching the BC.

Look at this way. You are out of bounds when the ball touches you as you have a body part out of bounds. You are in the BC if the ball touches you and you have a body part touching BC. If I am reading this correctly, the ball never reached FC status so B2 touching the ball does not end a 10-second count.

Peace

The status of the ball being in the front court or the back court is determined by which team has Team Control. Player and ball location will be identified by team A's court statuses as they still had TC.

B1 touching the ball while touching team A's back court would keep the status of the ball as back court.

That's how I look at it without the benefit of the rulebook in front of me. I don't study it anymore since I left the court.

Additionally, the 10 second count continues as Jeff mentioned.

So let's slightly change the situation. If B2 is completely in Team A's Front Court and B2 hits the ball back into Team A's backcourt, then Team A would get a new 10 second count. And the new count starts as soon as the ball contacts Team A's backcourt

I seriously doubt that we would ever get to a count of ten in this situation.
How do you come to that conclusion that is a back court violation?

Raymond is correct. I confused Team A and Team B.

Thanks Raymond.
