Backcourt violation?

[rawhi1]

When the ball was inbounded to A2 she caught the ball with one foot in the backcourt and one in the frontcourt with the ball in her hands still on the frontcourt side of the division line. Her first dribble was in the frontcourt and the game continued.I hope this helps.

What we are trying to say is that where the ball was during its flight is not relevant. Your ruling was correct but it has nothing to do with where the ball was. Has to do with where ball's flight originated from (throw-in by A1) and where A2's feet were when she caught the ball.

Also remember that on a throw-in, if A2 catches the ball while airborn (and is the 1st to touch the ball), it does not matter if the first foot to touch is in the frontcourt or backcourt.
