The L whistles for a BC violation...we conference and agree to disagree, but he does acknowledge it was not his call and defers to me. I say inadvertent whistle and we play on with A getting the ball.

The nice part here was no argument from either bench...in fact, it may have been the only no argument whistle all night.

Question: When She crosses into FC, areboth feet and the ball now in FC?

IF no, then no call or IAW is correct.

If yes, then when she throws the ball back to A2 who is still in BC. A2 jumps (both feet off the floor when contact with the ball was made) and lands in FC, this is is a BC violation. A2 did not have FC status until she lands, when she touched the ball she had BC status causing the BC violation.
