A1 inbounding ball on baseline under the A basket. A2, standing in front court, tips ball to the back court. A3 picks the ball up in the back court. A2 never had control--is this a no call or over and back? Thanks..

There are some points that must happen for a backcourt violation to be called. In order, they are:

<li>Team A must have team control in their frontcourt</li>
<li>Team A is the last team to touch the ball before it goes to the backcourt</li>
<li>Team A is the first team to touch the ball after it goes to the backcourt</li>

Since there is no team control during a throw-in, and A2 was ruled to never have control, stipulation (1) was not met, therefore, the other points are moot.

No violation.

As per case book play 4.12.6(b).....
