Backcourt

I contend that rule 4.4.6 could be simply reworded to make both situations legal and remove the "philosophical" contradiction. Try this:

During ball movement from BC to FC, the ball is located in the FC when either both feet of a dribbler and the ball (three points), or both feet of a player holding the ball (two points), touch the court entirely in the FC. This, of course would allow the pivoter to not be in the front court until both feet got there.

We could run a nice delay at the end of games, having the entire court to work with, just by teaching our players to keep only one foot on the ground in the front court. With a little practice it shouldn't be too hard.
