There is no frontcourt/backcourt during a throw in so to speak. The court status only becomes relevant when the throw in ends and such status is determined. If that status is with one foot on either side of the mid court line then you have backcourt status and may pass the ball further into backcourt if you so choose.

Disagree.

 

When the players jumps from the FC and catches the throw in while in the air the ball now has FC status. 9-9-3 allows him to land in the backcourt without it being a violation. However, once he lands, he still has FC status. Thus, if he passes to another player who is in the backcourt, you have a violation.

I'll have to go and look at the rule I guess, doesn't seem like you could land in back court and not be in back court. But stranger things have been allowed.

I know that 9-9-3 lets them catch it and land in the back court without violation, but WHAT IS THE RULE # THAT DOESN'T ALLOW THEM TO DRIBBLE OR PASS IN THE BACK COURT AFTER THE CATCH??

 

See the post above this.

Can you tell me what 7-5-7 says. My rulebook is old and doesn't deal with this issue when looking at 7-5-7.

 

This just the rule that places the ball in bounds under the basket for the violation.

If you have 1 foot in front court and the other in the air, you ARE in front court, so if you are in front court and the ball hits you, the ball is in front court. If it bounces to back court and your team is the first to touch it, it's a violation. Simple as that.

 

This scenerio is nothing different that if I was in backcourt and passed the ball forward to a teammate who had one foot in frontcourt and other in the air and the ball rebounded into backcourt. He is considered to be in front court so it would be a violation.

If you catch the ball from a throw in straddling the line you are still in backcourt. You haven't gained front court status until you lift the foot that is in the back court. If you lift that foot and then put it back down, you have now committed a back court violation.

 

Incorrect statement - There is no team or player possession during a throw-in. You are where you are and lifting the back foot off the floor doesn't place you in frontcourt until that foot actually touches frontcourt meeting the requirement of all three in frontcourt. You can legally pass the ball to someone who is fully in backcourt. You see it more often on the opening jump ball.

I'm going to have to say that when you land ON A THROW IN ONLY, you are where you are. If you have one foot in back court you are in back court and can dribble or pass to someone in the back court, WITHOUT VIOLATION. This happens all the time. NOw a long time ago when you caught an inbounds pass in the air and you were in frontcourt when you jumped and land in back court after the pass, this used to be a violation, but not anymore. This may be where the confusion is. But now, this is allowed without violation. Hope that cleared things up.

Nothing is cleared up. I completely understand the exceptions granted on a)a throw-in b)a jump ball or c)to the defense. The exception, though, does not change the definition of FC status. You have FC status when you land with one foot in the FC or if you jumped from the FC , caught the ball in the air, and then landed in the backcourt. So, if you have FC status, team control, the ball goes to the backcourt and is first touched by an offensive player, you have a violation.

 

The only way you can argue this is to say that the player does not have FC status. The exception granted does not change the status. It only allows for a landing without penalty. After that landing, all is back to normal with a player having FC status.

I guess that is what I have to argue then. Because on a throw in, you don't have a status until you come down with the ball! If you have one foot in back court when you land, then your status is back court. We will just have to disagree, unless you can quote a rule citation that says exactly that!

 

So what you are saying is, if you land straddling the line and use the foot that is in back court as the pivot foot and move the other foot into back court, you have a violation because you say you have front court status??? No way...

MOH - I would challenge you to point me to where it says you do not have status on a throw-in until you come down with the ball. I don't see it . The only exception on any normal rule regarding the throw-in deals strictly with the landing. It doesn't change the status;it simply allows for a landing without penalty.

Depends on where you are playing.......LOL

MOH - I've been checking into this and I think I've discovered the errors in my interpretation on this. The FC status would end once the player lands in the BC, thus, no way to call a violation for over and back.

 

Consider me educated.

Whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally, thought I was going to go nuts! haha..

It just took about 5 days for this one to get straightened out......A poor old offical only has a split second to know the answer......

True, so true.

 

Actually, it only took ME 5 days to figure it out. You guys nailed it. Overthinking on my part and not looking at the obvious.
