Jump ball
Jump ball to start the game occurs. Jumper A1 taps the ball to A2 who is in the front court. A2 does not catch the ball, but directs the ball and taps it to A3 in the backcourt. The official calls a back court violation and tells the table to set the arrow to Team B’s basket. Is the official correct?
Yes or No

Depends on if you consider the tap controlled.
I've always used the test if at the time of the tap if A2 requested time-out would you grant it? In my opinion, the answer is no, you couldn't. If they considered it controlled then yes they got it correct. If not, then no they didn't. |

What if the player "pushes" the ball?

Player control cannot be established by a controlled tap. He must either be holding it or dribbling it, tapping it is neither regardless of how well the tapper controls the ball's direction.
Where can I find the rule in the book ?

Shoot, you're right, of course. I was thinking about catching the tap, for some reason. I'm gonna go delete my post.
