Backcourt Violation?

After securing the ball in the air, A2 then lands in the backcourt.

My call: Backcourt Violation.

My partners call: legal play

We got together on this, and he insisted that it was a legal play...and did so in front of the coach to begin with...... and during our conversation it was obvious that he didnt agree with my call.

Rather than argue, after the conference, I blew my whistle and we gave Team A the ball back.

Constructive Criticism Please

Your partner had the right call under both NFHS and NCAA rules. That's a legal play.

The NFHS rules citation is rule 9-9-3.

Your partner was wrong though in insisting that he was right in front of the coach. That conversation shoulda been held just between the the two of you, and in a spot where nobody else could hear what you two were saying. That procedure should be set in your pre-game.

Excuse me but was this exactly a legal play in NCAA or NFHS?
Regarding FIBA, this is obviously a back.

Yes, it's legal in FED and NCAA.

Can you point me to the rule that refers to this situation in the NCAA rulebook?

How about the NBA rulebook? What is the call there?

Thanks

The NCAA cite is rule 9-12-6.

Don't know and don't care about the NBA.

This link will download the NCAA rulebook. You can read it yourself. I think the reference is 9-12-5 however.

In US Pro Rules it MAY OR MAY NOT be be a violation:

Any ball out of bounds in a teams front court or at the midcourt line cannot be passed into the back court On all backcourt and midcourt violations, the ball shall be awarded to the opposing team at the midcourtline and must be passed into the frontcourt.

EXCEPTION: During the last 2 min's of the 4th period and/or any overtime period the ball may be passed anywhere ( front court or backcourt) on the court.

Hope this helps!!! This is also one of many reasons we must have the clock awareness at all times........talked about in another post.
