No, I wasn't laughing at the question. I was joking about it being the most commonly asked play situation on the forum. That's all. No need to be an a$$.

How about an inbound in the frontcourt (I know it doesn't matter but painting the picture) the ball gets batted before any team control was established. The ball is rolling on the floot towards the division line when A1 dives gains control in the front court but the momentum of his dive causes him to roll into the back court. No travel violation since his momentum caused the roll, but what about the back court violation. Does momentum prevent this as well?

If the player "rolls over" you get to display your judgment about whether they have traveled. Or, if you judge the player to have player control in the front court, and they slide and come in contact with the back court, then they have violated.

No, his momentum didn't prevent the player from going into the backcourt; it caused the player to go into his backcourt. That's why it's a backcout violation.

This isn't the exception where the player gaining control in the air on a throw-in is allowed a normal landing into the backcourt.
