OVER AND BACK?

ok, I am going to lay my a** out to dry here. Without even bothering to look it up, I am going to ask a stupid question. A1 is inbounding the ball at the baseline in the frontcourt. A1 throws the ball high and A2 jumps tips the ball which goes into the backcourt. A1 subsequently retrieves this ball. Is this a backcourt violation? And why?

You have your answer from others so I'll just ask you a question. If you would have written “at the division line/mid court” would you have looked at your problem in the same way? While I have seen the type of muffed inbounds a few times from the baseline that you asked about I have seen it a good number of times from the division line. Would not call it there so wyou would not call it from the baseline.
