Do you have an backcourt violation? Or do you consider A2's touch to not to be control?

IMHO, if you deem that A2 had control of the ball before throwing it into the BC, then yes it would be a violation. However if not, then no. AND that's why you/we get the big bucks (or so has been stated here on more than one occasion).

We get this question every season. Some say that saving the ball from going out of bounds always demonstrates player control, some deny it. Not much traction either way.

Anything new and pertinent?
