Back Court or Not??

[OKREF]

9.9.1 case book

A1 is dribbling in his/her back court and throws a pass to the front court. While standing in A's frontcourt: (a) A2 or (b) B3 touches the ball and deflects it back to A's back court. A2 recovers in the back court.

Ruling: In (a), it is a violation. The ball was in control of A1 and Team A, and a player from A was the last to touch the ball in the front court and a player of A was the first to touch it after it returned to the back court. In (b), legal play, and A is entitled to a new 10 second count.

I've read the case book and seen that play in the case book. Other than poorly written rules, how is the absence of PC by A2 justified in the presence of 9.9.1 indicating the required presence of PC?

Last year, the NFHS essentially told us to ignore the written rule and enforce it the way they want us to enforce it. Pisses me off, to be honest.

Because the player control portion was a bit added by NFHS to try and reconcile the fact that they didn't want backcourt violations to be called on throw-ins thrown into the backcourt...not from regular play when player control has already been initially established at some point.

A2's touching of the ball then causing the ball to go into BC results in a BC violation by A2. They were the last to touch the ball in the FC before ball going into BC.

Does not require PC, only TC

Is is correct that on throw in plays that their must be player control in the front court but on all others there does not need to be player control in the front court?

That seems right (but also seems like a confusing way to phrase it, to me)

The reason I say that is bc with team control on a throw in a tap in the front court isn't enough to start the backcourt process but on all other plays coming from the backcourt it would be.

The way that my area has taught it that past two years is that a backcourt violation is not a consideration on throw-in plays until player control has been established inbounds.
