POI and Referee Magazine case play

[JS 20]

Would this same on a violation? Let's say Team A is in the back court, A1 is the lane in the BC, official's count is at 9 and A1 throws a long airborne pass to someone in the front court. Ball is over the FC when the count hits 10, official has a violation. Are you putting the ball in play closest to where it was in the FC when the violation occurred or are you putting it in play on the baseline in Team B's FC?

The ball was still in the backcourt (or technically, "still had backcourt status"), right? That's why you blew the whistle for the violation.

Put the ball in play closest to where the violation occurred. In this case, the violation occurred at the spot where the passer released the ball. It might be near the endline, or it might be near midcourt. It's wherever the passer last touched the ball.

Thanks, Scrappy. Somehow I missed connecting those dots.
