Clearly a backcourt according to NFHS. I made this call numerous times this year, even though 75% of the fans, 50% of the coaches and usually 33% of the refs on the floor disagreed with me. I am now convinced that this is the number 1 missed call in all of basketball. (Isn't the NCAA rule the same as NFHS?)
I'm not sure if that meets the requirements for a backcourt. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. And I know NFHS issued that one interpretation on a backcourt play that many feel does not follow stated rule.

1. Team control-check there was team control
2. Ball had frontcourt status-check
3. Offense was last to touch the ball in the frontcourt-Kansas State was last to touch the ball in the frontcourt
4. Offense is first to touch the ball after the ball achieved a backcourt status

I do agree that last to touch-first to touch backcourt violation is a call that too many officials do not understand and forget about players/coaches understanding it.
