The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
During a throw-in, A2 catches the ball while airborne. A2 lands with both feet in frontcourt. A2’s momentum causes him to step into the backcourt with one foot.
Handle the situation.
Although A2 caught the throw-in while airborne, the exception to the backcourt rule allowing him to land in the backcourt ended when A2 landed with both feet in frontcourt. Stepping backcourt after landing is a backcourt violation.
