NFHS Backcourt

However, if A1 (who was holding the ball) were to lift that backcourt foot, they would instantly gain frontcourt status. Such a lifted foot gains frontcourt status not by touching in the frontcourt but because the other foot is in the frontcourt and the lifted foot is not touching the backcourt.

Camron:

When I checked the case book, I found Case 9.9.1 which you've described above.

Thanks for the explanation/clarification, Bob.
