team A shoots at ring ,team B rebounds and goes for long pass,but is intercepted by member of team A ,who was in the back court but caught the ball in the air and landed in the front court. is this cross court?

No this is not back court.
First after team A shot there is no more team control. Secondly team B secures the rebound, so now team B has team and player control. Team A can intercept the pass and land anywhere, front or back court.

It's a little unclear exactly what the situation is from the original post. It goes one of two ways:
1) A1 shoots. 2) B1 rebounds and throws long pass towards B's frontcourt. 3a) A2 jumps from A's backcourt. 3b) A2 jumps from A's frontcourt. 4) A2 catches the ball 5a) A2 lands in A's frontcourt. 5b) A2 lands in A's backcourt. In either scenario, I agree that this is not a backcourt violation on A2. But there are different reasons, depending on which scenario was played out. Let's take it step-by-step. What are the four things required to call a backcourt violation? A) there must be team control B) the ball must have achieved frontcourt status C) a player from the team in control must be the last to touch the ball in the frontcourt D) a player from that same team must be the first to touch the ball after it has been in the backcourt Now let's go back to the original play. In the "a" scenario, there is no backcourt violation b/c requirement B was not met. There certainly was team control b/c A2 caught the ball. However, his team's control in the frontcourt ended with A1's shot. So no violation. The "b" scenario is tougher. Again, there is team control, b/c A2 has caught the ball. The ball does have frontcourt status when A2 catches it, b/c he last touched the floor in the frontcourt. He's the last player to touch it in the frontcourt (by virtue of catching it) and he is also the first person to touch it in the backcourt (when he lands, holding the ball). So in this case, all 4 elements of the violation have been met. So why no violation? It's an exception to the backcourt rule. It just seemed unfair to penalize a great defensive play, so the rules committee just decided to make an exception for this particular type of play. By the way, the "b" is also not a violation by NBA rules, although for a different reason. Under NBA rules, the defensive team is not considered to have a frontcourt or backcourt. So element B above would not have been met. My long-winded two cents. Chuck

OH! Jeez, what can I. . . I'm speechless. Wow. Ok, um. Thanks to Greg, for starting such a great thread. And to mick, b/c I totally just ripped off the 4 elements from one of his posts. Thanks to all the people who read my work. It's so great to know that long-winded posts are still appreciated in the industry. And of course I have to thank my wonderful wife for going out to the mall so I could completely waste my time this morning. I love you, honey!! What else is there to say? I have to admit that I was disappointed by not winning for my run-on sentence. But it really is great just to be nominated for this honor. Finally, I guess it would be wrong to leave out the man that made this all possible for me. For all of us, really. . . Mark? Are you here this morning? Stand up, and take a bow. . . There he is!! Mark T. Denucci, Sr, everybody!!!! Thank you. Thank you all so much. Thank you!!
