Backcourt violation "team control"

[wizard]

Team A has control of the ball in their frontcourt. A1 passes the ball to A2. The pass touches B2 then touches A2 and continue into the backcourt. A2 retrieves the ball in the backcourt. What do you have?

I thought scenario was in the case book, but cannot find it. I have found a comment (4.12) that I believes answers it. Anyone?

Easy backcourt violation.

That's a backcourt violation, and have fun when you call that one because nobody (including a lot of officials) will believe you on it.

That's what I had. And I DID have fun, and yes my partner didn't believe me.

Yep easy violation as long as it touched A2 in the frontcourt. And you're right, get ready to explain it, because no coach will have a clue!

I've got a few coaches around here that know it now..........

We had the exact play in game last Friday night and we missed it.

I was lead in 3 man and I thought that's backcourt - we played on.

I mentioned to my two partners at halftime and neither believed me - but that did say they would look it up.

Thanks

Almost every time I have made this call, I have some partner coming to me telling me "Did you see the defense tip the ball?"

Do guys ever read the rulebook in detail?

Peace

My play was out near mid-court. I was opposite table lead and my partner comes running from home team side trail...I was not thrilled.

The penalty for this violation is usually two shots and the ball at the division line.

UGH! I can tell its Monday morning. I meant...I was opposite table TRAIL and my partner comes running from home team side LEAD.

Sorry for the confusion.

The only confusion is yours.

I was making a joke about the coaches always yelling about this call because so few know the rule. Quite often this simple violation call results in a technical foul against the coach and thus the two shots and the ball at the division line.
