Backcourt Violation?

[FrankHtown]

Ok...I'm confused. If a player is straddling the division line, e.i. one foot in the back court and one foot in the front court, the player is still considered in the backcourt, correct?

Now, if we take the premise that you are where you are when you leave the floor (e.g. behind the three point line or catching the ball in the air going from backcourt to front court...etc) why is the player receiving the pass in this thread not considered having backcourt status?

Does his status change in mid air?

I think you need to re-read the responses to the original post Frank. Then you will be able to answer your own question.

All your assertions and conclusions are correct. The player is in the BC.

Maybe you misread the OP: "A1, in frontcourt, throws ball to A2"

OK...so I didn't do so well on my SAT reading comprehension
