Question Backcourt Violation?

Team A brings the ball down the court bring it into the front court. Some one on team A shots the ball, it bounces off the rim, and then is batted by an offensive player into the backcourt to another offensive player. Isn't this considered backcourt since team A had possession and control in the front court and possession never changed?

Some one told me that after a missed field goal attempt, if the ball is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; this is not a backcourt violation? He said that team control, a player holding or dribbling the ball, has not yet been established. This doesn't seem correct, is is?

Thanks in advance!

It is not a backcourt violation. The someone who told you the explanation is correct.

Once the ball is released on a shot, team control ends. Since no one gained control after the rebound, team control was not re-established until the offensive player controlled it in the backcourt. It doesn't matter how many times it is tipped, and by whom, in the front court.

Hmmm, let me guess. You were playing in the game and asked a referee about it?

What if the shot was an air ball? Does that change anything?

If it was judged to be a shot, then no, it doesn't change the fact that team control ended.

No this doesn't change anything. Team Control ends when a shot is released. The player who shot the ball can actually go catch his missed airball because there is no team control.

Yup. The shooter may be the first to touch the rebound, swat it into the back court, and retrieve it. Throughout all this, no one else needs to touch it; it's perfectly legal. Furthermore, the shot may be an "airball."

NO!!

I was having this discussion with a childhood friend. He stated the shooter could not catch his own air ball and that it was a travel.... I said ok and took another drink of my beer. I knew he would not understand and we both were under the influence so I did not press the issue.
