[Daryl H. Long]

Illegally returning ball to backcourt:
A. Live Ball inbounds
1. Once team control is established in FC apply last to touch in FC and 1st to touch in BC.
2. If A has team control there is an Exception for a B player who jumps from his FC, secures ball while airborne (new team control) and returns to floor in his BC.

B. Live ball during throw in.
2. Since there is team control during throw in there is no airborne player exception for the throw in team.
3. The exception does apply for a B player.
