Yet another backcourt question
 

I've been reading the posts over the last couple of weeks but haven't seen this one yet so any help would be appreciated:

A1 has the ball and is established in A's frontcourt (both feet and ball in A's frontcourt). A1 attempts a pass to A2 (who also has both feet in A's frontcourt). B1 deflects the pass and the ball bounces into A's backcourt. Before anyone else touches the ball, A2 runs into the backcourt (both feet in) and secures the ball. Since team control was not lost would this be a backcourt violation on team A? Or would 9-9-1 apply (i.e., no backcourt violation) since A2 was not "the first to touch a ball aftern it has been in team control in the frontcourt" and "he/she or a teammate" were not "last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went into the backcourt."?

No violation; 9-9-1

I want to see if I'm right so I'm answering without looking it up.


Not a violation. now if b1 deflected the ball.. and then it bounced off of a2 and then went bc.. then it would be a violation.

Correct.

as long as the ball, when batted by B2 hits the floor in A's backcourt prior to being touched by A2 - No violation.

Or if B1 deflects the ball toward the backcourt & A1 jumps from the frontcourt securing the ball while in the air & then lands in the backcourt... that would be a violation as well?

Yes.
