Had a weird play in this game.
Ball got knocked out of a visitor's players hands in the direction of the home team's frontcourt. I'm the C and the ball is heading right towards me. I noticed a home player running right for me. I step back and watch as the player steps on the court with about an inch to spare, leaps out of bounds, and saves it back onto the court where it's possible it was caught in midair by a player that alighted from the backcourt. If so, it was likely a backcourt violation as it appeared the "saving" player had frontcourt status and possessed the ball in the air during the save itself. That said, I was (1) getting out of the way and (2) forced to get a good look at the player's feet as he was saving the ball (both on the initial step and on the landing). As this all happened so fast, I was the only one in position to call anything if it was there. I just couldn't be sure we had all the elements of a violation (mainly I just didn't have a good look at the player streaking that ended up with the ball) and to be quite honest, I wasn't 100% sure that the player alighted from the backcourt. Just a tough, tough call. The visiting coach asked both of my partners about it -- they said I was straddling the division line when it happened, and the coach was pretty good about it, especially since the home team missed a shot at the other end. But I still have little idea if I got it right or not. |

The key question I have, Rich, is does save = control?
|

The key question I have, bainsey, is did you actually read what Rich wrote?
Rich: "...it appeared the saving player had frontcourt status and possessed the ball in the air during the save itself." Kinda self-evident, don't ya think? |

I think bainsey was commenting on the possibility that one could obtain possession while airborne as in the case that Rich presented.

Wonder if there was a game tape, Rich. I know it doesn't help now, but you might be able to see who was where.

I do wonder if it's something the trail could've picked up since I was mainly trying to not get run over and also make sure the player saving the ball didn't step out of bounds before the save or before the ball was released back onto the court. |
