Back Court vs. Front Court.

[mbyron]

I usually answer this question in terms of the player rather than the ball. People seem to have trouble distinguishing 2 cases:

1. Dribbler: the ball and both feet must be in the FC; until then, the ball has BC status.

2. Non-dribbler with ball: something in the FC and nothing in the BC; until then, the ball has BC status.

The only other case is a ball in flight, which has the status of the last thing it touched.
