I see how the jump ball is a violation....but the other post

So you think when an inbounds is over because of a tipped ball (by either an offensive or defensive player in that teams frontcourt) and if a player jumps from his frontcourt, catches the ball in the air (gets player/team control) and he lands in his backcourt it is a violation...right? Because you have both Frontcourt ball location and frontcourt player location!

I have to agree here I guess....

Keys are:

1. tip in frontcourt that establishes ball location.
2. airborne player jumping from his frontcourt and securing ball in the air to establish team/player control.
3. landing in the backcourt with the ball or throwing it to another teammate in the backcourt..

OK then...
