Backcourt Violation

[Bizket786]

I am a little foggy on the backcourt violation and i have had a few situations that have raised some questions. let's say B1 has just stolen the ball from A1 in A1's front court then B1 attempts to throw a pass and A1 tips that pass and A2 catches that pass in Team A's backcourt. Is that a violation. What consists of having control becuase I also had another situation where B1 tipped the ball away from A1 but A1 took one dribble in his frountcourt and then proceeded to the back court and i called a backcourt violation.

Team control is established once a player either holds or dribbles the ball. Team control continues until either the ball becomes dead or the other team establishes team control. A defensive tip does not end team control for the offense.

Your first sitch is not a violation, since B had established team control. A did not regain it until A2 collected the ball in the backcourt.

Sitch 2 looks like a violation, in that A never lost team control, and A1 was the last to touch in the FC and then the first to touch after the ball went to the BC. good call.
