Thanks, Bob. I misread or read into the Sit. I keep loosing this server today and too many interruptions from work... haha. Now I see why the discussion has been on who touched it last.... that said, I still do not see the distinction because it does not have backcourt status until A2 catches it. Thus, in my mind, A2 caused the ball to gain backcourt status; not B1. Had A2 let the ball land in the backcourt, then caught it, would everyone agree it is not a violation? Is the scenario of A2 catching it in the backcourt giving it backcourt status really any different than if A2 caught it OOBs? A2 caused it to be OOB.... just my thoughts.... I do not have an issue with this Sit.
