And it would also be a violation if A1 put that foot back down in the BC.

Just to add another slight twist...A establishes FC and under heavy pressure from B starts to dribble away, whereby A's right foot touches the division line or is in the back court but his other foot and the ball remains in FC?

Backcourt Violation??

Criteria for backcourt violation:

Team control (and player control established at some point if coming from a throw-in)
Ball achieves a front court position
Team in control is last to touch the ball when the ball had a frontcourt status
Team in control is the first to touch the ball after it's achieved a backcourt status.

With that, do you have a violation? Reading up on player position may help with your question.

I say Yes a Violation has occured...While it takes 2 feet and the ball for a dribbler to establish FC..it only takes either the ball or one foot or both feet to be in the BC for a violation after establishing FC status.

Now, Did I get the call right?

Same sitch, instead of the foot touching the division line, the ball is dribbled on the line?

Another spin... A1 is now in FC and B1 bats ball into the air toward A's BC. A1 goes back court and catches it prior to the ball touching the court... What now? Do we go with the rule or the Interpretation?
