- - backcourt from throw-in?? (https://forum.officiating.com/basketball/31202-backcourt-throw.html)

As stated before...

Team control continues until:
a. The ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal
b. An opponent secures control
c. The ball becomes dead

Ball going OOB, causes the ball to be dead. Therefore, no team control and no BC violation.

If this was the case, in Team A's frontcourt, and it wasn't a throw-in, then it would be a BC violation. You are correct.

I Thought that in order for there not to be backcourt, possession had to change. Please enlighten me on this.

There is a big difference between the terms "possession, team control, player control",etc. It helped me to recognize the simplicity of this particular play/call or question once I understood the differences. I would suggest getting those three terms cleared up and then we realize that your question really did not have any relavence to the first two sentences you stated ie. It is irrelevant how the ball went out-of-bounds. Your Question really begins with the words: Team A throws the ball from the endline, and the ball sails ........... ANSWER: This is not a violation.
