Backcourt AGAIN

[inigo montoya]

The deflection by B2 does not end A's team control of the ball in the frontcourt. A last touched the ball in the frontcourt, then was the first to touch it in the backcourt. No specific exceptions apply to the play. Either I'm missing something or this is not a difficult play.

No you aren't missing anything at all and while it may be a no-brainer to you, me & other members of the board I just want the proof, preferably a casebook play.

I know it's New Years Eve in Vegas but where's Nevada @ when you need him?

Nevadaref is actually in northern Nevada.

It's about a 6-7 hour drive from Las Vegas...

The confusion comes in b/c team A may believe that since the ball is tipped by B towards the BC and they (team A) are standing in the BC when they recover the ball, the ball was caused to get to that point by team B, therefore no BC violation...HOWEVER, we as officials know that since the ball still has the same status as it had when last in contact with a player or the floor, it is still in the FC until A1 "causes" it to go to the BC when A1 catches it in the BC. I thought there was this specific caseplay this year, but I can't find it either...
