backcourt on a thrown in

[constable]

I apologize if this has been covered before.

Here's the situation.

A1 throw in. A2 tries to grab the throw in but can only tip it while standing in front court.

A3 then collects the ball in the back court.

Violation or no?

No, team control must be established in the front court before a back court violation can occur. Tip =/= team control

AremRed is correct, No violation.

This video isn't great, but shows what we are talking about. MSU player receives the throw in and fumbles it into the back court. Bo Boroski calls the violation. Eventually Mike Kitts comes over and discusses it with him (with bonus Ted Valentine!).

Prefect example of the play....and that some of the big dogs don't really know the rules all that well (but Coach Izzo knew it).

Ah, I just think he was too close to the play. Probably looking at the feet for out of bounds and missed the fumble.
