Back court Violation?

As mick stated, you're correct about this play. However, to say that there is "no back court violation on a throw in period," is incorrect.

In your play, team control was established when A1 caught the ball. But the exception to the rule allows an airborne player with FC status to land in the BC.

Had she caught the ball and then passed it to a teammate in the BC prior to landing in the BC, it would be a violation.

Had she caught the ball with the right foot in the FC, the left foot not touching the floor, caught the ball and then stepped into the BC, it would be a violation.

So, just because there is a throw-in, doesn't mean that a BC violation can't occur.

Good point, Tony.
