Exceptions for airborne players on defense, jump ball, throw-in.



"Some" are wrong. There was never any TC when the ball was in the FC.

I like this post and my interpretation is a tip doesn't change the provision for an airborne player being able to obtain a throw-in, tipped or not and land in the backcourt without a violation.....

If we did it with the other scenarios ...jump ball and a defensive player....a tip doesn't establish team control so why would it here?

EX - A jump ball tapped by A1 is then tipped by A2 who is in As frontcourt and caught by airborne A3 (jumped from his frontcourt, catches in midair and lands in his backcourt)....no team control, the jumpball is over but no team control yet so no BC violation. Anyone disagree?

There is frontcourt location in the above but no team control.
