Backcourt?

Yes, I think I do have a violation in the OP Situation A. In my opinion, the ball would have came to "rest" when change in direction occurred.

My point was that you stated you couldn't have a backcourt violation because no one ever possessed the ball which isn't true.

I see a lot of passes that are, essentially, no different than a dribble; a "dribble pass," if you will. The key is whether or not you would allow A1 to resume his dribble if A2 doesn't see the pass coming. If A1 never "held" the ball, no violation. If he held it, even briefly, violation. Judgment call all the way.

If the ball comes to "rest", that means the player now has possession of the ball. (and both feet in the front court = violation when passed to player in backcourt)
