Backcourt violation or not?

[Johnny Ringo]

A1 has basketball in backcourt. Passes the ball in the direction of A2, who jumps off of both feet from the frontcourt.

While in the air he/she (a) lets the ball bounce off his chest or (b) muffs the pass. Neither time did A2 control the basketball.

Do you have a over-and-back violation?

You have a back court violation in both situations if the ball ends up in the back court (or touches any team A player). The ball gains front court status when it touches A2 who still has FC status while airborne. A2 does not have to have player control for this to be a violation. You do not actually have a BC violation until a team A player touches it before any team B player.

It depends on what happens next. If the ball is then next touched by A after regaining backcourt status, then yes, it's a backcourt violation. But the ball going to the backcourt again is not in itself a violation.

I thought we'd been having one. It's just in slow motion.

A2's (PLAYER) control of the basketball in the FC is ONLY an issue if the action is a direct result of a throw-in.

In all "normal play" situations, TEAM CONTROL and the ball reaching the FC is all that's needed (well, that and the ball going to the BC and last-to-touch first-to-touch requirements).

Thanks. I thought control might be the issue here, but its actually just the touching.

Backcourt violation as soon as the ball makes contact with A2 once he lands in the backcourt after leaping into the air and last touching the court with both feet in frontcourt.

Correct.
