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 throw-in pass with one foot on the floor in frontcourt and the other foot in the air.  A2 starts a dribble by bouncing the ball in backcourt and then placing the other foot down in backcourt.

Handle the situation.


This is a backcourt violation.  A2 gave the ball frontcourt status when A2 caught the ball with one foot on the floor in frontcourt.  A2 starting the dribble by bouncing the ball in backcourt is a violation since A2 has caused the ball to go backcourt.
