I agree. The ball handler needs 3. When established in the front court as player and lets say you have one foot in the back and one in the front court. Backcourt Violation. If go to the backcourt and both feet are there and receive a pass there its legal. I sure we all know that though.

Uff Da!!!
Consider the play as I told it....
The guy is continuously dribbling, not standing, not receiving, he is in posession of the ball in the backcourt heading to the frontcourt....
when ONE foot crosses the mid-court line - to me it only looked like 1/2 a foot - he lifts the foot and proceeds back into the backcourt...
I got my answer - same in College as in HS...
the call was blown....

Take it easy, your OP was vague and didn't mention that he was dribbling.

If I was really frustrated I would said something worse!!!
My bad for leaving out a few key words like - posession and dribbling!!!!
Won't happen again!!!
Since I got you guys on the line and I dont want to put this as a title thread -
what are your guys opinions on being objective as a official and coach at the same time?
One of my partners has been an Asst. Varsity coach and officiating games durning the same year...
by the way - he is working the State Tourney this year...

and by the way - -it was St. Louis that got called for the violation - with 33 secs left on the clock...

You are correct that I was mistaken on the team.

But I did have the number of the player who committed the violation in the 5th post of this thread. But if we want to be technical the timing of the violation - it occured at 18.1 seconds left in the OT. At 33 seconds left in OT - Mass player #33 James Life hit the 3 to bring it within 2 points.

After watching the ESPN highlights, it looks like he is well over the division line.. Just to see what the UMass fans thought, who would be complaining the most if there was a kicked call, no one on their fan boards are complaining about the call.

Maybe I am watching different video, but it looked like an easy violation, called correctly.
