Back Court Situation
A1 establishes frontcourt status and has the ball stolen by B1. B1 is now in his backcourt with control. As B1 is nearing the division line, A1 tips the ball from B1 and causes the ball to go into B’s frontcourt, If A1 tipped the ball while in B’s backcourt, can A1 retrieve the ball in A’s backcourt?...........
My first opinion was that if A touched the ball last in his/her front court, they can not be the first to touch the ball in the back court. The fellow official who was working the game said he thought that A had never re-established possesion or control in A's front court, so he thought that A could retrieve the loose ball. I don't have my books with me, so I will question the Refereeing Guru's of the world.... Legal or not??????

Since team A never had team control in the frontcourt (there would be no team control until A finally gets control of the ball), there's no backcourt violation.
Rule 9-9-1 "Art. 1...A player shall not be the first to touch a ball after it has been in TEAM CONTROL in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt." |
