[Video Request] Backcourt off of halfcourt pass/shot?

[Afrosheen]

Just to be clear, if we're talking about the original video in this thread, and if the defender did not touch it, then the ball gains frontcourt status as it hits the backboard:

4-4-5: A ball which touches the front faces or edges of the backboard is treated the same as touching the floor inbounds;

4-13-1: A team’s frontcourt consists of that part of the court between its end line and the nearer edge of the division line, including its basket and the inbounds part of the backboard.

So with 9-9-2 (below) it should be judged that the play was a backcourt violation, unless of course the throw is considered to be a shot which nullifies the first requirement in 9-9-2:

ART. 2 . . . While in player and team control in its backcourt, a player shall not cause the ball to go from backcourt to frontcourt and return to backcourt, without the ball touching a player in the frontcourt, such that he/she or a teammate is the first to touch it in the backcourt.
