Ball bounces in BC and is then recovered by A1 in FC either a) before bouncing in FC or b) after bouncing in FC (not touched by any other player). To me this is a violation per 9-9-1 in both a) & b) but there was some disagreement amongst the group..thoughts?

We debated this play a couple of years ago on here. About 95% of us agreed that both situations were backcourt violations. One poster vehemently disagreed and wrote to Mary Struckhoff about it and she stated that it was NOT a violation. Shortly thereafter that silly interpretation was issued.

Here are two threads on this from 2007:
Backcourt violation...maybe

You mean there were two of them??

The silly interpretation I remember was when the defense knocked the ball into backcourt, it was caught by the offense, and they said it was a violation.

There is a silly one about this situation, too??

Click on the links which I posted and read the threads, especially post #13 in the first one. You will be shocked.

Not that I know of for FED. But, NCAA AR 218 is a similar play, and it's ruled a violation. So, I'm calling it a violation in FED games.
