Rebound - Back Court?

[Terrapins Fan]

I had this the other day, Shot by Home team A1, A2 jumps in a crowd a taps the rebound into BC. A1 runs back and retrieves it.

Back court or not? A2 knew he was throwing it back toward the 3-point line, but he never held onto the ball, but he did control where it went.

I didn't call BC because it was on a rebound.

Did he THROW the ball (PC ==> BC violation) or BAT the ball (No PC ==> no BC violation)?

Would you have granted a TO at the moment A2 had the ball (if the coach was quick enough to request it and you were quick enough get the message and assess the situation)?

Judgment call... those facts lead me to believe t/c was re-established JMO

Player control is required at this point to establish TC. PC is obtained by holding or dribbling; if he held it, even briefly, it's a violation. If he did not, it's not.

Controlling where it went isn't relevant, but if indeed he "threw" it rather than "batted" it, you're correct that it's a violation.

Unless you deemed there was control before the ball got into the backcourt, then you cannot have a violation. Based on your description it seems like you got it right. Then again I did not see the play to judge for sure. But if the ball is being tapped around that cannot be a BC violation unless you clearly think control was first established somewhere.

A1s attempt is unsuccessful, A5 taps the ball into the basket. Did A5 have p/c (Team A t/c) on the put back?

Nevermind a tap on a try & a tap during a rebound are two entirely different plays. My badd.

Controlling where the ball goes and having player/team control are not the same. It's your call. Did he have control or not? Your description of the play says no.

I would not have granted a TO on the rebound/tip/tap.

Then there was no PC, so no BC violation.

Had that situation last night. I would describe my play as a tap towards midcourt. I considered it no control and thus I had no violation. My partner did have to explain the rule to the coach at the next dead ball.
