Confusion on Backcourt

She waited until it bounced in the FC and then picked it up. Well, even if technically it would have been legal, I was impressed that she played it safe. It showed a respect for rules that I really appreciated.

FC-->BC is a violation.

Your play is BC-->FC. There is no rule against that. That is what the team is supposed to do.

Have you gotten into Padgett's stash of meds?

Thank God. If that were true, then field goal tries would have to be taken from behind the division line. Of course a team could legally get it into the normally legal, but in this case "illegal", frontcourt, during a period of non-team control, like during the tapping of a rebound; or on an inbound play, jump ball, or steal, like the "real" exceptions. Could we have a ten second frontcourt violation?

Nevermind. Let's just leave the rules as they exist now.
