I have multiple times. Let's just say I'm not in the camp that says 2 things cannot occur simultaneously.

Two things definitely can occur simultaneously, but last to touch in frontcourt/first to touch in backcourt cannot.

That's the part I say is up to debate.

And debating now would be a waste of keystrokes since I doubt either one of us will say anything that hasn't already been proffered.

That's not even what the rule says. The rule says "last to touch before the ball goes into the backcourt" and "first to touch after it goes into the backcourt."

We have three events, (A, B, C).
If A happens before B, and C happens after B, it is impossible for A and C to happen simultaneously.

Which makes the interp even more bogus.

Agreed; that impossibility is the only reason I ignore the interp.

Oh, my head.

One should not read threads about backcourt violations while enjoying a refreshing Pabst Blue Ribbon. One can only take the death of so many brain cells at a time.

Fer sure......

It's a case play with absolutely no rules backing(as discussed ad infinitum, ad nauseum).

Define "goes into the backcourt".

Ball location is defined. That can't quite be it.

I think it's safe to define it concurrently with "gains backcourt status."
