Backcourt?

You're partner should have never made that call from his position.

SitB: I agree with you.

Next question, where did you resume play with the throw in after BC violation? Where touched or division line?

Situation A...

Are you sure?

A2, in the backcourt, passes the ball to A1 in the front court. The ball touches in the front court and a spin on the ball it back to A2 in the backcourt. According to you, there would be no violation since there wasn't possession in the front court.

I disagree. (9-9-2)

In the OP, the ball had front court status when the bat/pass was made and the dribble ended. Team control, last to touch, first to touch... I think I've got a violation.
