If player A has two feet in the backcourt and dribbles the ball in the front court is player A considered front or back court?

BC, until both feet and the ball are in the FC.

What if player A is has one foot in the back court one inthe front court and is dribbling the ball in the back court?

Dude, read the answer. He's not in the FC until BOTH feet and the BALL are in the FC.

BTW, welcome to the board. ;)

On a dribble from back court to frontcourt, the player and the ball are all backcourt, until all three points touch in front court in succession. Remember this is ONLY ON A DRIBBLE from backcourt to frontcourt.

Doggone it, I knew it was too good to be true.... A question without an answer. I typed as fast as I could...

oh, well...I've got a life, yeah that's it: I've got a life!

In FIBA, when either foot or the ball crosses center, you have FC status. I don't know where ref5 officiates.

FIBA
 

so if you are dribbling with ball in FC and feet in BC and you pick up the ball it is a violation?

---I hate reffing with such different rules. I do FED and FIBA. Do you guys who do both HS and college get confused a lot?

Many college guys just bring their college mechanics with 'em. The rules are close enuff to bluff.

I've been refing as Jay R said, both in BC, Canada and in Hong Kong

I ref high school ffrosh through varsity, boys and girls.

Wow!
 

And you are unsure about the back court rule???!!!

Are you in my area? Do you need a mentor?

Yes!

Wish I could help. I'm in Idaho. I think you can likely get more than enough mentorship right here in this discussion forum.
