Interesting backcourt violation

[hilltopperref]

Had this happen last night. I think my partner got it right but feel free to chime in.

Situation;

A1 attempts a 3 pont shot. B1 blocks the attempt. The ball is batted to almost half court when the ball goes off of A2's shoe. A1 retrieves the ball in the backcourt, partner call a violation. A team coach goes nuts. I think my partner got it right. what do you think

Nope. Team control ended when the try was released.
Your partner kicked it.

Only if it's intentional

... if, say, a player from behind swatted the ball off of the player's hand as they went up? So ball ultimately leaves player with the ball's hand, but not from their action.

No try, no try-release, team control continues.

If he statred his shooting motion he can be fouled on the shot even if the ball is knocked off his hand, not released for a try. Wouldn't this aply in this sit. He had shoolting motion so it is a try even if the ball is knocked off his hand and not "released"

In my opinion, this try ended before it was released. I could be wrong, though.

Why do you think this?

I had an unusual BC call. A1 is dribbling in his front court, and B1 knocks the ball out of his hand toward the BC. A1 fumbles the ball in the FC, steps into the BC and recovers the ball. Tweet!

The coach was unhappy. "He didn't have control!" Me: "he doesn't have to, coach." We go on. At the half, I ask him what he had, and end up explaining that the rule requires team control, not player control. He thanked me. Sweet!

[hilltopperref]

At the time it seemed right, but now that I think about it, it is not.

aw yes the sweet smell of hindsight

I had one the other day where A1 was dribbling in the frontcourt. B1 knocks it away. As A1 goes to recover the ball that was still in the frontcourt, his just starts dribbling again. Only problem was his first dribble lands on the division line.

Another one happened where A1 was dribbling in the frontcourt. B1 slaps it away. A1 jumps from the frontcourt, catches it in the air, and lands in the backcourt. A's coach tried to use the "momentum" argument, but to no avail.

The four elements for having this violation are: there must be team control; the ball must have achieved frontcourt status; the team in team control must be the last to touch the ball in frontcourt; that same team must be the first to touch after the ball has been in the backcourt.

[referee99]

4.12.3 Team control continues until:
a. the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal.
b. An opponent secures control.
c. The ball becomes dead.

I would surmise that since (in my example) the try (which was indeed a try) was never in flight, team control is not relinquished.
