Said it so only you heard it? Tell him not to be an @sshole, no one cares enough about his games to give them an over/under.

Look up the rule that says how a player gains FC status.

he said it loud enough for me to hear it w/o rabbit ears. i would never call a coach an @sshole while working a game; that can't be defended at all.

I'm aware that the rule is you need the ball & both feet to have FC status, but in the case that he is lying on the floor, i was wondering if his torso would be considered his feet i.e. almost like a traveling call if he rolled over.

What's he gonna do? Tell everyone that he accused you of shaving points and then you called him an @sshole?

You need to be aware of nfhs 4-35-2

You need the ball and both feet to do what, exactly? All three must touch the frontcourt? In your play, the player was HOLDING the ball on the floor. You might want to look over Dan_ref's rule citation.

I'll break it down. When holding the ball, you only need to have something touching the front court and nothing touching the backcourt. If you're standing on one foot holding the ball, if that foot is in the front court, you're in the front court. You could be doing a half-a$$ hokey-pokey with the other leg shaking it over the back court line; you're still in the FC and so is the ball. Air space is irrelevant.
The only time three points come into play (both feet and the ball) is while dribbling.

Thanks snagwells; that cleared it up for me. I appreciate it. I wasn't aware that the 'three points' only came into play when dribbling.

and when dribbling from backcourt to frontcourt. Once the dribbler does establish frontcourt status, the 3 point rule is as irrelevant as a dirty shirt, as meaningless as yesterday's newspaper. Once frontcourt status is attained, ANY single touch in the backcourt, either one foot, the other foot, or the ball, is a violation. Again, on a dribble.

Yes, and touching any part of the division line is considered to be the backcourt... contrary to what some summer coaches believe, a player doesn't have to cross the line to be IN the backcourt.

But he does have to cross the line to be in the front court.
