Whew, that sounds like a hard pass to complete.

All day, every day.

Team control does NOT end when B1 touches the ball, nor when A1 loses player control.

Not really.

You and I are facing each other. You're standing with your left foot a foot from the division line, bounce pass the ball with your left hand on the line. I catch the ball with my right foot a foot from the line. BC violation.

You sound like the coach.

BktBallRef laid it out perfectly, almost as if he was there.

Ha! Well, I did say it was hard; but not impossible. If I sound like a coach that's a good thing. I find if you put yourself in the coach's shoes and try to think like he does, you can anticipate what he will say and be prepared to respond!

I know what you said, and it's not that difficult at all. It's rare because of the positioning requirements, but if two people are standing near the division line, on the same side of that line trying to keep the ball from their respective defenders, then it's pretty easy to accomplish.

Yep, I should have said "rare" not "hard". I see your point!
