Backcourt ruling

[ditttoo]

Need the specific applicable rule for high school....

A1 is dribbling up from the backcourt. A1 passes, while in the backcourt to A2. While the pass is in flight, A2, leaves his feet (last in front court), catches pass and lands in backcourt. Pass never breaks the plane of the halfcourt line. Backcourt or not? What's the applicable ruling?

Any specific ruling or reference to case book very much appreciated.

Thanks!

I'll take it he caught the ball in the air....

It's a violation.

You are where you were until you get where you're going.

Until A2 lands in the back court he's got front court status, therefore it's a violation when he lands in the backcourt with the ball.

[ditttoo]

Yes, A2 was in the air when he caught the ball. Yes, it's certainly an "over and back" violation, but what's the specific appliable rule(s)?

Rule 9-9-3 See penalty

[Ref Daddy]

ART. 3 . . . A player from the team not in control (defensive player or during a jump ball or throw-in) may legally jump from his/her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or backcourt.
PENALTY: (Section 9) The ball is dead when the violation occurs and is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in from the designated out-of-bounds spot nearest the violation.

Not applicable,Daddy. This one is only for a defender, or plays related to jump balls and throw-ins.

Case book play 9.9.1SitC(a) is the exact play and gives you the explanation of why it's a violation. Rule 9-9-1 is the applicable rule.

Not applicable, Thumper. That rule covers a defender or the violation exception during a throw-in or jump ball.

There is no situation where the division line plane comes into play on a possible BC violation. The plane has nothing to do with it.
