Backcourt rules citation please

[Scratch85]

4-4-2: A ball which is in contact with a player or with the court is in the frontcourt if neither the ball nor the player is touching the backcourt.

9-9-1: A player shall not be the first to touch a ball after it has been in team control in the forntcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt.

9.9.1D: Team A is awarded a throw-in near the division line. A1's throw-in is deflected by B1 (ending the throw-in); A2 jumps from Team A's frontcourt, catches the ball in the air and lands in the backcourt. RULING: Violation. . . A2 gains player and team control in the air after having left the floor from Team A's frontcourt, therefore having froontcourt status.

Sounds like you are about to win a soda.

Edited: I type to slowly.

What's the old saying: "you are where you are until you get where you going". In this case once he got there it was a violation

I usually make this call about once a year, and the coach's only question is whether or not the player landed in the BC before catching the pass. Land then catch = no violation. catch then land = violation.

once a year? Really? A few seasons ago it seemed like I was calling this at least once a week. Now it's down to once every few weeks I'm calling this play.

It just doesn't happen often at the high school level, even JV. I saw it more often when I was working middle school more often.
