Exception or The Rule? (video)

[JetMetFan]

What say you on this play?

It looks to me like the player first touched the ball with the right foot down, then put the left foot down in the FC and then stepped with the right foot in the BC. Violation.

Violation. He had at least one foot down in FC when he gained PC then jumped to BC.

[Bad Zebra]

Player (and team) control established with his left foot in the front court, right foot in the air. He then steps in back court with right foot. BC Violation.

Great video example. I wonder how many HS officials would catch that.

Thanks for posting.

Looks like a clear violation to me as well for the reason described up top.

Easy call if you're paying attention.

Apparently, they're enforcing the over and back rule but not the uniform rules.

It is AAU, I have yet to ever care about those rules. That is a NF or state organizational thing. No one cares in AAU what kids wear as long as you can see numbers on the front or the back.

I'm not so sure this one is a violation. The camera cut makes it a little harder to tell too.

It appears like he may have jumped/hopped just before obtaining control of the ball. It was a small hop sure but both feet were off the ground momentarily. Then he lands on (edit) ONE foot in the FC then steps into the BC with the other foot. If so, that would be legal.

I'm with Camron on this. I have him getting both hands on the ball while both feet are in the air, landing - with possession - with the left foot in FC then the right foot comes down in BC. You can see "one up, one down" in terms of his feet at the 0:16 mark.

Remember, assuming he jumped then landed on the right foot after catching the ball this would be an exception under NFHS 9-9-3 (hence the title of the thread) since it's a throw-in. Also, TC already exists once the ball is at the disposal of the thrower (NFHS 4-12-2d).
