Or slides on his back from the frontcourt into the backcourt and catches the ball with his feet also sliding on the floor?

Backtravel? Gluteus Maximus court violation? Bogus erroneous crapolous?

I don't think it would matter. A2 will be quickly asking for a TO so that be may address his sore arse.

But..., but..., I need a time-out!

As a new referee, I was wondering:
What is the mechanic or signal for a backtravel?

This is an easy one...simply turn your back to the scorers table, bend over so your butt is facing the table, and then slap your own behind exactly three times with each hand...now many rookies make the mistake of slapping with both hands at once, but the NBA officials will tell you that it should be left-right-left-right-left-right, and should have a definiote beat that your partner can dance to,,,

Mick - where's that brownpop...I need it badly!!

Actually, in Nevada this is a travel as soon as his butt hits the floor. It should also be a travel anywhere NFHS rules are used!

PS Are you being a sore arse?

IAABO BOOK 2002-03 HIGH SCHOOL EDITION
SECTION 9-9 UNDER NOTE , THE EXCEPTION ALLOWS THE "AIRBOURNE PLAYER" TO MAKE A NORMAL LANDING AND IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHETHER THE FIRST FOOT COMES DOWN IN THE FRONTCOURT OR BACK COURT. ONLY THE PLAYER GAINING POSSESSION IS COVERED BY THE EXCEPTIONS. REMEMBER THE PLAYER MUST BE AIR BOURNE WHEN RECEIVING THE PASS.
