Violation?????

Last to touch front court(A1 Knee) , first to touch in backcourt A2. Violation right?

Crazy girls basketball!!!

The way I'm envisioning this is that A1, in A's frontcourt, has the ball go off A1's knee, then off A's backboard, then into the backcourt. A2 gets the ball after it has gone into the backcourt and starts dribbling.

The play would be a backcourt violation. All four criteria were met.

Maybe you may want to consider the ball off the knee/hitting the backboard an attenpt for a try? That way it would not be a back court violation.
I have seen the Globetrotters attempt some crazy shots.

I don't know whether you're being serious or not about it being a try. In case you are not, I would have a hard time ever seeing this type of play being considered a try.

I can very easily see it. Is/was A1 in a habitual shooting motion when the ball was tipped? The fact that the ball hit the backboard may be an indication that she was bringing the ball up when it was tipped. A1 is getting ready to start the habitual lay up motion. As she is about to gather the ball it is tipped from behind and contiunes the upward motion of the shot.
Food for thought.

Hey, are you saying a MS girl's habitual shooting motion doesn't involve her knee?

[Judtech]

If they are going in for a lay up HOPEFULLY they will raise the knee, as the ball hits the knee. Thus you have habitual shooting motion.
