backcourt hypothetical

Why would it be BC violation in #1. All 3 points weren't across. Both feet in front court but ball whether dribbled or not has not crossed the line therefore still having BC status.

Three points only applies to a dribbler. Once A1 touches the ball with 2 hands the dribble is ended and the 3 points rule no longer applies; thus giving the ball FC status by virtue of A1's position on the court.

By the player putting both hands on the ball, the dribble has ended. The 3 point rule does not apply since we don't have a dribbler. Therefore the ball has the location of the player whom is in the front court.

Dribbled ended. 1 foot FC, 1 foot BC, still FC status?

Nope, still BC as the player still has one foot (or anything) touching the BC. Different from the OP, though.

If a player is touching both the FC and the BC, the player is in the BC.

Rule 4-4 and 4-35 deal with ball location and player location respectively.

Here's a dumb question. When does your foot considered FC status. When it touches the division line or any part of the foot crosses the division line?

The division line is concered backcourt for both teams.

Cmh, might I suggest reading 4-4 and 4-35? They clearly answer all the questions you have asked. I'd also read the corresponding case book plays in those sections.

I'm impressed, yes bragging, that after 15 years away I actually knew all that. 😎 🙂
