Backcourt question (sorry)

[Hardwood]

A1 has the ball for a throw-in in A's front court. He passed the ball toward the backcourt. A2 jumps from the front court and secures the ball while in the air and turns and passes (without touching the floor) to a team mate (A3) who is standing in the back court. Violation? Play on?

Backcourt violation - Team A has caused the ball to travel from the front court to the backcourt, whilst team control has been maintained.

[AKOFL]

If he had kept the ball and landed in the backcourt, no violation. When he passsed the ball the exception granted for a throw in ends and is only for the initial touch on the ball. this only applies in no team control situ. (jump ball throw-in)

Hang on, but OP said that the inbound was from the front court....doesn't this mean that it is a backcourt regardless? (it would be for FIBA)

[AKOFL]

NFHS 9-9-3. a player from the team not in control(defencive player or durring a jump ball or throw-in) may legally jump from his/her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no differenc weather the first foot is in the frontcourt or backcourt. Am I misunderstanding this?

I'll see if I can convert this to metric...

In NFHS and NCAA, the throw-in spot is not considered front court or back court, simply OOB. Front court and back court are specifically the inbounds areas. Iirc, in FIBA, if the ball goes OOB next to the front court, the throw-in has to go back into the front court, correct? In NFHS and NCAA, that isn't the case; the throw-in can go anywhere inbounds.

Citation for a jump ball throw-in?

What about any throw-in?

[AKOFL]

I left out a comma. It should be jump ball, throw in. Is that better.

Straight from last year's part 1 exam.

100.	It is a violation if, on A1's throw-in pass. A2 jumps from A's frontcourt and while airborne, catches the throw-in and immediately passes to A3, who is standing in A's backcourt. True 9-9-1; 4-12-2
