Because coming out of the timeout, I was standing at the three-point line near the baseline as I gave the go ahead to my partner I saw that the offensive player was straddling the division line, who then faked the opponent to get space but then backed up. And as he was backing up he caught the pass. Apparently, he caught the pass with one hand in the frontcourt, then went into the backcourt as he brought up the other hand to catch the ball before he started dribbling. I went up to my partner to be sure that's what he saw, not one where he touched the ball in the front court then gained possession of it in the backcourt.
