Mark - great job - I seem to remember just having this one a month or so back and you were struggling with the concept. I love the 4 criteria as explained in multiple threads - it makes almost all backcourt calls a lot easier (til you get to those inbound situations!).

Coach,
The inbound situations should still be easy to understand.
There is no Team Control during a Throw in.

The same goes for a missed field goal that bounces into BC.
Team Control was lost on the shot, therefore that Team can be the first to touch the ball in the BC.

I'm sure you already knew this Coach, just reviewing things a bit.

Oh yeah, I can't wait to have a throw in situation at the division line when A1 throws the ball to A2 in his FC, A2 then muffs the ball to his BC and goes to retrieve the ball. A2 is then the first to touch the ball in the BC.
Legal Play. No team control on a throw in...a muff is not control.

The "howls" will ring united.
