eg-Italy,
I'll respectfully disagree. The frontcourt status of a player catching a pass from his teammate while airborne and then landing in the backcourt is a violation. As evidence I offer these plays from the 2011 CABO interpretations manual (all have been reviewed and approved by FIBA) as well as from the 2010 FIBA interpretations manual In Team A’s backcourt, A1 makes a throw-in pass to A3 who leaps from Team A’s frontcourt, catches the ball and then lands in Team A’s backcourt. Has A3committed a violation for illegally returning the ball to the backcourt? Yes. A3 does not establish a new control for Team A which was already in control of the ball. © Copyright Canadian Association of Basketball Officials, April 2011 Example 3: Thrower-in A4 in his frontcourt attempts a pass to A3. A3 jumps from his backcourt, catches the ball while airborne and lands (a) With both feet in his backcourt. (b) Straddling the centre line. (c) Straddling the centre line and then dribbles or passes the ball to his backcourt. Interpretation: Team A violation. Thrower-in A4 has established the team A control of the ball in the frontcourt before A3 caught the ball while airborne and landed in his backcourt. In all cases A3 has illegally returned the ball to the backcourt. FIBA Official Interpretations 2010/LK |

eg-italy,
ref3309 is right, that play is in the 2010 FIBA Interpretations and it is a backcourt violation. Which brings me back to my original point. I don't see the consistency. When you jump with both feet and catch the ball, it's a violation. If you have one foot on the floor, it's legal. American rule sets are more consistent. |

![]() Example 3 you're citing has nothing to do with this case, as the ball already has frontcourt status when it's in the hands of A4. Ciao |
