Backcourt Violation ?

I have to disagree that you need 2 hands on a ball to gain control of a ball.

The orignal post says the player slings the ball not bats or tips. I agree with you that if a player just bats or tips the ball then there maybe no team control. But if the player can sling it 50ft and the ref on the play would have granted a TO if requested I don't know that there is much doubt about control.

I think that your guidline is a bit off. This is not to say that anytime a player touches the ball with one hand he/she has control, but that it is possible and even likely that a player can gain control with one hand.
