Backcourt or not Backcourt??

[easygoer]

This has come up twice recently with the same player. Team
A has the ball in the front court. Team B steals the ball but fails to cross the halfcourt line( Team B is still in their backcourt) Team A recovers the ball and Team A's player dribbles the ball into the backcourt. Not his momentum carring him but clear possesion has been established and he dribbles into the back court deliberetly.He claims that on change of possesion he is allowed to go into the backcourt once again.

Thanks

that is why they pay us to officiate and let them play...this is a backcourt violation....he probably also thinks there is a halo rule under the basket...I heard that one the other day after a PC foul LOL...

Halo rule under the basket eh, i've had coaches ask me to move the ball from the endline in the backcourt to the 28' mark in the frontcourt following a time out they've called.

That's because the Canadian alphabet has 52, not 26, letters in it.

A, A, B, A, C, A, D, A, etc.
