Backcourt?

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.

Are you sure? Are you saying that if A1 has 2 feet in the backcourt and dribbling the ball in the frontcourt, that the ball has frontcourt status?

That's not how I read 4-4-1.

No, sir. Three-points applies to the dribbler. I'm saying in the OP Situation A, in my opinion, the dribble ended when he batted/passed the ball.

This may not make sense, but if it was a bounce pass, I would allow it since the player is pushing the ball back to the ground, just like a dribble. If it was a direct pass, I may call a violation since the hand would need to go under the ball somewhat to keep it in the air. The thinking is if he had his hand on the ball this way then continued the dribble, I could have a carrying violation, and his dribble has ended.

I agree though that I would have to be there.

A lot of players will bring the ball to rest then throw a bounce pass, that would be a violation in the OP.

In this case, I agree with you. That is why I offered the carrying situation to determine if the dribble has ended or not.
