True or not??
 
If a player is standing at midcourt with 1 foot in the front court and 1 foot in the back court w/o the ball...He has front court status?? So if that is true if he receives a pass from the back court..This is backcourt violation??? Thanks in advance

If Player has i foot in Front Court and 1 foot in Back Court, then that player has Back Court status!

SECTION 35 PLAYER LOCATION
ART. 2 . . . When a player is touching the backcourt, out of bounds or the three-point line, the player is located in backcourt, out of bounds,or inside the three-point line, respectively.

If after catching the ball he lifts up the foot that was in the backcourt he then has frontcourt status. It would be a backcourt violation if he puts that foot back down in the backcourt.

Even if your assumption on the player's status were true, it still would not be a violation -- otherwise you could never pass the ball from the back court to the front court.

If he catches the ball and lifts the foot in the front court and then
starts his dribble did he travel?

I think you need more information - if he had two feet in the back court - and stepped with one foot into the front court he has never relinquished back court status, the opposite would be true.

So I do not think you can determine status until the player clearly establishes a status one way or the other.

Not true. It is always possible to definitely determine the fc/bc status of a player at any point in the game, whether the ball is involved or not.

Okay from the information provided in the OP tell me the court position of the player?

Try this: A1 inbounds the ball to begin the period, after making the inbound pass A1 jumps from out of bounds and lands simultaniously on both feet with one in the back court and one in the front court, which position does A1 have front or back court? :confused:

Easy - backcourt, as per 4-35-2.

????? How could this possibly be a travel? And what does his bc/fc status have to do with whether it's a travel?

I'm guessing he was experiencing a little bit of unclearness of thought about which foot would be the pivot connected to the confusion about whether he was bc or fc. Of course whichever foot he lifts first, the other is the pivot.
