If we can stretch this thread to 4 or 5 pages, it may provoke an editorial revision in the new books when they come out. In the meantime, there is no definitive answer to the question.

There's four backcourt violation criteria, not three.
1) there must be team control 2) the team in control must be last to touch the ball in frontcourt 3) the ball must achieve backcourt status 4) that same team must be first to touch the ball after it has been in the backcourt Ya' know - now that I think about it - there's actually a redundancy to criteria 3 and 4. If number 4 says the touch must come after the ball has been in the backcourt, there's really no need for number 3, because number 4 requires the ball to have achieved backcourt status. What do you guys think?

MP: I've also heard the four criteria, but you're right about the redundancy, so three makes more sense. I always go by three: "Team control, last to touch, first to touch." |

Then (2) should read: The team in control must be the last to touch before the ball enters the backcourt. The first touch need not be in the frontcourt and the second touch need not be in the backcourt. |

Touching by anyone does not end team control after that team control was obtained. That includes simultaneous touching by the offense and defense. That was my point....and I'm missing your point. It is....?

I was trying to point out to him that a deflection by anyone doesn't end team control. It appears you "got it". He wanted to know if team control ended on the deflection.

Thus in order to make the four points system as general as possible and have it cover violations for either article, it is necessary to list four separate criteria as BktBallRef does. |

Although rarely, I have had situations in which A1, standing in backcourt near the division line, makes a bounce pass to A2 (who is also standing in backcourt near the other end of the division line) and the ball bounces in frontcourt during the pass and then A2 grabs it.

Prior to then your second play was not a violation by the strict text of the rule. I happen to believe that it was due to a post which I wrote on this forum, but that may be an overly optimistic opinion. |
