Went to a Class L Girls Basketball game last night and sat behind the scores table. Class L is the largest division in my state. In the second quarter a foul is called and when the official goes to report the foul he says #5 blue over the back and makes a motion like he is going to climb a ladder with his hands. I thought that there was no such thing as over the back, it would be called a push. Just wondering if someone could explain the ruling to me please.

Thanks

Was he an IAABO official or a member of one of the girls' boards? Either way, I bet the he used to officiate in the old Eastern League.

Question

Your subject is "Is there such a call as back court? "

Maybe he saw an inbound pass from front court go completely OOB at the opposite end line and the call was "over the back court"?

Wink I never understood

Maybe that is why they call it 'Back' court because that is where you make the 'over the back' calls...

and in the front court you correctly call a push.

Which official's back court was that? Trail? Lead?

Coach,

Sounds like you are from my state and I can tell you, if the board members heard that an official called it over the back, they would not be happy. Push it is.
