I had this the other night and missed it. Partner, rightly, let me live with it and hear it from the coach. I won't miss that again.

How about this? A1 dribbling in his/her backcourt passes to A2 in the frontcourt who immediatly passes back to A1 who now has stepped one foot into frontcourt and has the other foot in the air?

I read that the player has court status based on where he/she is touching or last touched the floor. Therefore, legal play.

I get two different answers from others. Some say A1 has to have two feet in front court to establish status. I can't find the reference to the number of feet, only where the player is touching.

By the way, the four points are: the ball must have frontcourt status, team control must be established, offense is the last to touch in front court and the first to touch in the back...right?

Those folks are wrong.

Your rule reference is 4-35-1&2.

Absolutely legal based on your description. The player has frontcourt status is anything is touching frontcourt and nothing is touching backcourt.

Those four points would qualify a backcourt violation.

The third point should be last to touch before the ball goes into the backcourt after being in the frontcourt. The ball does not need to ever be touched in the frontcourt for a backcourt violation.

Example: A1, who is standing in the backcourt, throws a pass with spin that bounces in the frontcourt and is caught by A2, who is also standing in the backcourt. This is a violation.

Similarly, the fourth point should be first to touch after the ball goes into the backcourt after being in the frontcourt.

Example: A1, who is standing in the frontcourt, throws a pass with spin that bounces in the backcourt and is caught by A2, who is also standing in the frontcourt. This is a violation.

I don't get it. What's wrong with his/her example?

Go check the SPECIFIC words used in the text and you'll see.

Is your issue that I said "the backcourt" instead of "his/her backcourt"? Otherwise, I have no idea what you're talking about.

[Nevadaref]

Nope, my issue is A2.
