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

Backcourt violation or not?
