Is ball control the key?

[Johnny Ringo]

A1 set to inbound ball ... throws it in, A2, who has both feet in the frontcourt standing on the ground, touches or slaps (does not control) ... the ball bounces into backcourt where A2 establishes both feet and picks up the ball ...

do we have a violation here? Or is control the key?

Team control must be established while the ball has FC status in order to have a backcourt violation.

Team control isn't established here until A2 picks up the ball.

Thanks .. .wanted to confirm that.

How about on a try for FG on the rebound the ball is tipped back into the BC and recovered by the ofense? violation?

No violation.

Team control is a necessity for a backcourt violation.

Last night in my wreck league I was A1 under our basket. A2 was near midcourt. All my options were gone under the basket so I rifled a pass to A2. The ball is above his head and goes thru (touching) his hands like a Detroit Lion wide receiver. A2 goes into the BC, picks up ball and starts a dribble. Trail calls a BC violation.

He did call a great game other than that, so my turnover and a missed FT canceled out his 2 bad calls.

Depends Coach...were you inbounding the ball or was it good D and you couldn't get a shot off and 3 seconds was looming down on you...

So if I understand correctly, you had control inbounds and made a pass to a teammate who did not catch it and the ball went in to BC where your team mate recovered it.

This is a BC violation and the official got it right.

You had team control at the time of the pass and the pass was never touched by a member of B before going BC.

Unless I am missing something....

I think coach was inbounding the ball under his own basket. But the OP wasn't clear.

I thought about that for a second as well but like you said the OP is not clear if this was a throw-in or if the ball was already inbounds....
