Backcourt Violation?

A1, in frontcourt, throws ball to A2, who has one foot in front court, one foot in backcourt, jumps up with both feet leaving floor at same time and catches ball. Violation?

A2 is in the BC until he is touching the FC and is no longer touching the BC.

Since he jumped with both feet, he did not meet this requirement.

It's similiar to a situation where he would have been OOB. He's not inbounds until he's touching inbounds and no longer touching OOB.

What if the half-court line happens to be the the line between time zones, with the front court in Central Time and the backcourt in Mountain Time?

Then it becomes a time zone violation, instead of a time line violation.

Talking

Do I need to remind everyone of the oft-mentioned situation where you are calling a game on the deck of an ocean liner and the ship crosses the International Date Line (and it is suddenly yesterday) while you are in the middle of a ten-second backcourt count?

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"

rainmaker says "You are where you were until you get where you're going." (Juulie - can I quote you on that?)

A2 was in the BC because one part of him/her was in the BC. When s/he jumps, s/he is still in the BC. At A2's touching, it is a violation.
