Calling a Girls varsity game tonight and I ran into this situation. A1 is in the frontcourt directly in front of her coach (3rd quarter) she passes it to A2 who is 2 feet from the half court line in the front court. B1 who is defending A2 tips the pass (it was a relatively hard pass) and it changes the direction of the pass. A2 had her hands ready for the ball but since the direction of the ball changed due to the tip she can not catch the pass (not enough time to adjust to the change of direction) and the ball hits the bottom of her hand after being tipped by B1 and goes backcourt. B1 and A2 hustle after the ball and A2 recovers the ball in the backcourt and returns into the front court. Should this have been a backcourt?
