Over & Back on Throw In

But again, I think we've about exhausted this one.

Let me ask this: How is the ball status defined? How is ball location defined?

1) By the parameters of live/dead.
2) By the status (FC/BC and IB/OB) of what/who is touching it or it is being touched by.

I'm not sure where you're going...

Or where it was last touched. A ball's location is defined by the location of who is touching it. So, while the ball may be in the space above one court (or OOB), it's actual location (by rule) may be someplace else entirely.

My point exactly.
