Arrow Violation or not - let's make a list

I don't think there's a situation that has been discussed here as much as "over and back" violations during a throw-in. How about if we make a comprehensive list that newbies (and others) can study and perhaps carry with them in their bags so they can review them from time to time? Here's a bunch of scenarios - you guys post the answers. In each case, A1 is the thrower-in and is inbounding in team A's frontcourt on the sideline.

a) A2 is standing in backcourt, jumps and catches the ball in the air and then lands with both feet in frontcourt.

b) A2 is standing with one foot in frontcourt and one foot in backcourt and catches the inbound pass - he then lifts the frontcourt foot

c) A2 is standing in frontcourt, jumps and catches the ball in the air and then lands with both feet in backcourt.

d) same as a), except A2 lands with one foot in frontcourt and one foot in backcourt

e) same as c), except A2 lands with one foot in frontcourt and one foot in backcourt

f) A2 is standing in frontcourt, the ball deflects off him into the backcourt and he retrieves the ball with both feet in backcourt

g) while the inbound pass is in the air, Coach A calls you a fu***ing idiot, the ball hits A2 in the head while he is standing in the frontcourt, caroms off and hits Coach A in the crotch, doubling him over and causing him to scream

OK - g) was a trick example. We all know the correct answer is to laugh hysterically at Coach A while issuing the flagrant T and hope someone had their video cam on.

You can post other examples if you wish. Have fun, guys.

A) a2 is standing in backcourt, jumps and catches the ball in the air and then lands with both feet in frontcourt.
that a back to front violation under feeble rules.
b) a2 is standing with one foot in frontcourt and one foot in backcourt and catches the inbound pass - he then lifts the frontcourt foot
this is a move learned by watching the karate kid. It is called the crane technique.
c) a2 is standing in frontcourt, jumps and catches the ball in the air and then lands with both feet in backcourt.
this play is sure to cause all spectators who watch nba tv to holler for backcourt.
d) same as a), except a2 lands with one foot in frontcourt and one foot in backcourt
since the player is jumping from the backcourt, the legality depends upon which foot touches first. Backcourt foot first is fine. Frontcourt foot first is a violation. Simultaneous is okay.
e) same as c), except a2 lands with one foot in frontcourt and one foot in backcourt
permissible under 9-9-3.
f) a2 is standing in frontcourt, the ball deflects off him into the backcourt and he retrieves the ball with both feet in backcourt
another play sure to get the howler monkeys in full throat.
g) while the inbound pass is in the air, coach a calls you a fu***ing idiot, the ball hits a2 in the head while he is standing in the frontcourt, caroms off and hits coach a in the crotch, doubling him over and causing him to scream

ok - g) was a trick example. We all know the correct answer is to laugh hysterically at coach a while issuing the flagrant t and hope someone had their video cam on.
agreed. That is the perfect ruling.
you can post other examples if you wish. Have fun, guys.

Learned something today. I even pulled out the book and noticed that this only applies to a person jumping from the frontcourt. Thanks.

Legal.

b) A2 is standing with one foot in frontcourt and one foot in backcourt and catches the inbound pass - he then lifts the frontcourt foot
I think this is legal.

c) A2 is standing in frontcourt, jumps and catches the ball in the air and then lands with both feet in backcourt.
Legal.

d) same as a), except A2 lands with one foot in frontcourt and one foot in backcourt
Legal, and what Nevada said. As long as his backcourt foot lands first followed by his frontcourt foot, he's fine.

e) same as c), except A2 lands with one foot in frontcourt and one foot in backcourt
Legal.

f) A2 is standing in frontcourt, the ball deflects off him into the backcourt and he retrieves the ball with both feet in backcourt
Legal. No team control is established on a deflection.

g) while the inbound pass is in the air, Coach A calls you a fu***ing idiot, the ball hits A2 in the head while he is standing in the frontcourt, caroms off and hits Coach A in the crotch, doubling him over and causing him to scream
Get him an ice pack.

What could possibly be illegal about it? A2 has backcourt status the entire time. A2 starts with backcourt status as he is standing with one foot on each side of the line. A2 catches the ball without moving and thus still has backcourt status. A2 picks up his frontcourt foot and continues to maintain his backcourt status as his other foot is still touching the backcourt.

What are going to penalize him for ... a back and back vilolation?

You're welcome. That's a nuance that not many people know.

PS I'm glad that you actually went and looked it up to convince yourself instead of just taking my word for it.
That kind of diligence will pay off as you will certainly remember it better.

OK- I'm confusing myself on this now- maybe I need more information.

I am assuming that A has team control in the frontcourt. Teammate of A2 passes him the ball, is deflected by B1, hits A2 and caroms into the backcourt where A2 goes to get it.

Isn't that last team control-last to touch in frontcourt-first to touch in backcourt = violation? Where am I going astray?

Moron Alert!

OK, it seems to me that I actually did not read the OP correctly.

We are talking about an inbounds play, correct? And we all know that there is no team control on an inbounds pass...

So, if I have now read the OP correctly, I would agree that A2 retrieving the ball in the backcourt is not a violation.

Apparently those of you that are literate already knew this...

It only took you 3 minutes to figure it out.

For some of us it takes a whole lifetime to figure out we're a moron.
