Over & Back on Throw In
Player A is inbounding on the sideline and throws the ball into the backcourt, player B jumps from the front court, catches the ball and lands in the back court. Is this over & back because he caught the ball with front court status and landed in the back court?

Who You Gonna Call ???
During a throwin, or jump ball, any player; or a defensive player, in making a steal; may legally jump from his or her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor, and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or the backcourt. These three situations are not backcourt violations.

And unless you work in an IAABO area/state...
I'd stay away from the phrase "over and back," and try to just use rule book terminology when discussing this type of play/possible violation.

Why? This one accurately describes the situation....unlike over-the-back. I don't think I know of a single official that says anything other than over-and-back.

I personally say "backcourt" or "backcourt violation" while making the signal.

Me. My call is always, "Backcourt", and has been for thirty-three years.

As for what is listed in the books, that doesn't stop people from reporting illegal use of hands as "hits", at least around here. I don't and think it sounds silly, but it is common, particularly in the college crowd. And in a lot if cases, "hits" is not actually correct.

And I challenge you to create a "backcourt" violation where over-and-back is not accurate. I could probably, if I tried, come up with more reasons why backcourt is less accurate or less complete than over and back versus the reverse. |

Examples of backcourt violations that don't fit "over and back": 1) A thrown-in ball that is player-controlled in the frontcourt that then obtains backcourt status (last touched by A, first touched by A) never necessarily went "over the division line" before going "back." 2) A jump ball that ends which then immediately results in a backcourt violation hasn't necessarily crossed the division line at all.
