Back-court or not and Why?
Team A (A1) has the ball out of bounds (NFHS) and passes to Teammate A2 who is in the air and has jumped from the front-court. Prior to A2 landing, he then passes the ball to A3 who is in the back-court.
I say 'legal' since A2 could have landed in the back-court legally so official front-court status was not attained. Can someone validate this as well as a rule please? Much appreciated. |
Violation. 9.9.1E
"official front-court staus" was attained. It is attained when the throw-in ends. When the throw-in ends the throw-in exceptions end also. |
Exception only applies to first to touch
Rule 9-9-3
A player from the team not in control (defense or during jump ball or throw in) may legally jump from front court and land in backcourt. |
As dumb as the ruling is, the above posts have the correct ruling.
However, I think the rule should be changed to not establish FC following a throwin until a player is holding/dribbling the ball while actually touching the FC and not touching the BC. This is even more logical with the case where the ball, having been thrown form A1 to A2 (who has jumped from the FC), is tipped by B3 before A2 catches the ball then lands in the backcourt. By the current rule, this is a violation merely because B3 touched the ball before A2 caught it. Before the rewrite of the backcourt excpetions a few years ago, it was not a violation. |

Oh, wow. You couldn't be more wrong. The exception does not state that A1 doesn't establish player/team control in the FC, it only states that he's allowed to land normally. You're just flat wrong about that. Now, go read the case plays in 9.9. |
Ok, I mis read the play. I am wrong.
I apologize. Thanks -EJN |

You're not just over-thinking this play. You obviously don't know the rule. EDIT: Snaqs got there first by 2 minutes and 6.2 seconds. :D |
Violation.
Throw in ended when caught/possesed by A1. If A1 landed in the backcourt no problem. When A1 left the floor he had FC status, catches the ball (posseses the ball so throw in ends) passes to player A2 in the backcourt. Last to touch in FC: team A First to touch in BC: Team A = violation. |
