BNR thanks for the help........
I am helping my buddy out by posting here, as he wants to hear other opinions. Yes I know the answer and the differences, but didn't want to taint the water by posting them in my post.

Cameron thanks for the response...this part of the crux of our discussion back here in ole wyo.....what exception are you talking about

However the key isn't that team control is established by what A2 does in situation two...it is that player control is established and his location when it is established???

No, it is his location and team control that is required by the rule to have a backcourt violation. It is just coincidental that player control also starts team control if it doesn't already exist.

Forget the current wording of the backcourt rule...go back 2-3 years and use that wording for team control issues as it relates to anything except fouls.

There are three exceptions to the BC rules (that is, plays that would otherwise be a violation are not a violation in these cases):

1) Throw in
2) Jump ball
3) Defensive player.

The first two apply only to the first person to touch the ball.

So in your play, B2 tipped the ball, then A2 grabbbed it in the air (from the FC) and landed in the BC. The exception does not apply -- violation.

If B2 had not tipped the ball, then the exception would apply and it would be a legal play.

What you are saying is the exception involves the jumping from front to back court correct? in either of those three situations you listed, IE jump ball throwin and defensive player...

[Adam]

Correct. So a player jumping back to front does not get the exception.

Why would that player need an exception?
