Backcourt or not?

Let me try this one, batting the ball by B does not mean team control by A was lost, A last to touch FC, first to touch BC tweet!

Do I pass?

Survey says!!!.......

You are correct.

That is a BC violation and every time I make this call I hear complaining from the coach and fans: "It was touched, it was tipped, etc..."

And you will too! Not a understanding of the rule many know. and most inexperienced officials don't know this rule either. I see this many times not called when it should be!

I called this in a game today and the coach had a fit. I almost had to T him because he didn't know the rule.

NevadaRef, Happens every single time I call it. At any level. Often I explain the rule - mostly to educate them - either right there on the spot or when it is appropriate. The problem is that not every official calls it or knows and when it is called it can send the gym in a tizzy.

Do you ref in Nevada? Where at?

[Nevadaref]

Yes, in Reno.

I had this twice in Girls JV game on Wed night.
First Time: [Blue Team on Offense]
A1 passed ball to A2, B1 tipped ball, A2 while in front court, deflected it into BC, A2 went back into BC and retrieved ball, I was trail, saw the whole play, tweet, BC Violation, gave ball to B at sideline nearest to where A2 grabbed ball. Coach screamed "it was tipped, it was tipped", I told Coach I saw the tip.

Second Time: [White Team on Offense]
A1 passed ball to A2, B1 tipped ball into backcourt, A2 waited for ball to bounce in BC before picking it up. I was trail, saw the whole play, no whistle, and we played on. Coached screamed "Hey that's over and back, how was that different? At the next TO I talked to Coach and told him easiest way to tell violation/no violation is to look at "last touch first touch" even if it's tipped by a defender in the FC. If offense is last to touch in FC and first to touch in BC, you got a violation, If defense is last to touch in FC, then play on.

He had the "deer in headlights" look like what in blazes are you talking about?
I guess I'll have to 'splain it a little slower next time.
