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 frontcourt near the division line.  The ball bounces on the division line.  After the ball hits the division line, A-1 allows the ball to bounce in frontcourt before continuing his dribble.  

Handle the situation.


This is considered to be a backcourt violation by A-1.  Even though A-1 did not touch the ball while it had backcourt status and even though the ball has frontcourt status when it bis touched, A-1 was the last to touch the ball before it went backcourt and was the first to touch the ball after it went backcourt.
