backcourt?
 

A1 from backcourt heaves a 3/4 court obvious pass to A2 in front court which slams off backboard and is retrieved by A1 in backcourt.

I'm assuming backcourt violation? No books with me.

If it didn't touch any player, yes a violation...9-9-2?

Here you go fullofit

9-9

ART. 2 . . . While in team control in its backcourt, a player shall not cause the
ball to go from backcourt to frontcourt and return to backcourt, without the ball
touching a player in the frontcourt, such that he/she or a teammate is the first to
touch it in the backcourt.

Unless you consider this a "try."

Yes, violation. 9-9-2

No, I mentioned an obvious pass.

I had been wondering about a practical application of this rule. Makes sense now.

Yep, I know. But if B1, standing at the arc, threw an "obvious pass" to B2 but it hit the rim and bounced back to him, what would you call? Assuming B2 dribbled before and dribbles afterwards.

I'm expanding the discussion now. :)

Also bounce passes, or the ball hitting an official and bouncing backwards.

I guess you'd have your choice of calls ala carte. I doubt anyone knows the rules, and there would be more squawking should you call a BC violation especially if it hit the rim. I'm calling BC, just because I can, and it's the correct call:)

By the way, It would A1 and A2, unless I'm missing something.

Good point on the official. I am one ugly looking floor though. :eek:

Bounce pass as in a pass with a lot of backspin on it?

If it bounced in the frontcourt then back to the backcourt and the team in control touched it - violation.

9-9-2
