The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

A-1 is dribbling the ball in A’s frontcourt when B-1 knocks the ball into A’s backcourt.  The ball is headed out of bounds when B-1, in A’s backcourt, grabs the ball and throws it to B-3 in A’s frontcourt.

Handle the situation.


This is a backcourt violation.  When B-1 grabbed the ball in A’s backcourt, that gave Team B control in their frontcourt.  Throwing it to B-3 in A’s frontcourt (B’s backcourt) creates a backcourt violation.
