[yankeesfan]

team A has the ball in the backcourt, he passes the ball and a player from team A jumps from the frontcourt and catches the ball in the air and then lands in the backcourt. is this is a backcourt violation?

What about if its the inbound play to start the 2d quarter? Since its an inbounds play, does A2 have front court status before the ball is inbounded or not?

A2 (assuming that A2 is not the inbounder) has either FC or BC status before the throwin. But, the ball doesn't have that status, and there's no team control yet, and there's the "exception" for an airborne player receiving the inbounds pass ... and since I don't know exactly which play you're talking about, I can't give a correct ruling.

I believe this was discussed on a recent thread. If so, could someone kindly post the link...or recap this for me. (Yes, you could post it rudely also.)

On a throw-in, A1 is out of bounds and throws to A2 who is airborne having jumped from the front court. While airborne, A2 passes the ball to A3 who is in the backcourt.
Violation NFHS?
Violation NCAA?

I think FC/BC status does not matter on throw-in. (The in-bounds play devised by the coach has little to do with the sitch.) The concern would be whether the throw-in has ended. If throw-in has ended, the BC/FC status matters, unless on defense.

(Which is what was posted previously, but I hadn't yet read)

Don't forget that player/team control needs to get established also.

That was taken for granted because of his screen name...

Also...
A player from Team A has the ball in his frontcourt. He passes the ball and a player from team A jumps from the backcourt, catches the ball in the air and lands in the frontcourt.....tweet! Violation .

The location of an airborne player with reference to the backcourt is the same as at the time such player was last in contact with the floor.

I saw this exact thing happen tonight.

You could tweet that even before he lands.
