Rule 9.9.1 - Throw In Front Court + Tip

I will not say that I agree with interp but this is the interp...

That only works by rule when you have the ball tipped on a throw-in and A2 jumps from the front court, catches the ball, then lands in the back court. Then you have a violation by rule.

There's an exception to the BC rule for a throw-in (and for a jump ball and for a defensive player). A player can jump from the FC, catch the ball and land in the BC without it being a violation. (The "4 requirements" for a BC violation have been met, so without the exception there would be a violation.)

The exception applies only to the first person to touch the ball. So, if the ball is tipped (doesn't matter whether it was tipped by A1 or B1), and then A2 jumps from the FC, catches the ball and lands in the BC, it's now a violation.

So, if the ball is tipped (doesn't matter whether it was tipped by A1 or B1), and then A2 jumps from the FC and lands in the BC and then catches the ball? Or if he never jumped from FC to BC, A2 just happened to be standing in the BC?

Then the 4 requirements haven't been met and there's no violation.

Awesome!! That's what I thought...

I'll have to say I would not have seen this play this way and probably would not call a violation (on the jumping from FC to BC after throw in is tipped). I appreciate being corrected and learning something new today. Now if my short (or long) term memory will only kick in when it happens

To add, the violation occurs because the throw-in ends when the first player touches the ball. Therefore, the exception ends as well.
