Another Back Court Question
A1 has the ball in front court along baseline. A1 gets trapped & throws a long pass towards A2 at the division line. B2 TIPS ball then A2 TIPS the ball. Ball goes into backcourt. A2 retrieves the ball. Do you have a backcourt violation? I guess the real question is.......does the tip by B2 cause a loss of A’s team control?

The tip by B2 does not mean a loss oteam control. Therefore.....back court violation.See case book plays 4.12COMMENT
|
If A2 was in the frontcourt, it is a violation. Tip by B did not cause loss of team control.

That's what I thought, but I didn't have my books to verify. Thanks for the input.

Once team control is established, it is lost only on:

I believe that the NBA rule is different from the NCAA and NFHS ruling for this play. I think that in the NBA team control does end on the touch by B2 and therefore this is not a backcourt violation. That may well be the source of much misunderstanding at the NCAA and NFHS levels.

And yet if Team A is the last to touch the ball in the front court even if B tips it then I got a BC violation. I gotta look for the reference but don't have my book handy. So I might be wrong.

Thanks , I concluded from scrappers response that there would not be a BC call since no team control after B tipped the ball. If the balll had gone into the backcourt after B tipped it then A went to recover I would not call a violation. That was who my response was to.

Jurrassic is right about my previous post. It was meant to apply to NBA rules only. I've edited that post to make it clearer.

So your saying even if B deflects the ball into the backcourt and then A goes to get it there should be a BC violation? That is where I am missing something. |
