Back Court or Not?

I thought the 10 second count started when it was touched in his backcourt? Not when it touches the floor.

Take a look at 10-8, then review when team control begins and ends.

Thanks Mark, when it touches the floor, team control had been established.

The difference is where the ball came from....on a throwin, team control doesn't start until someone is holding/dribbling the ball in bounds, not when it touches the floor. However, in this case, the ball was already inbounds and was in team control. So, team control is never lost and the count begings when the ball (still being in team control) touches the backcourt.

Yep.
