Is it over and back if a player catches the ball in the air and the lands on their side of the court?
If it goes over the backboard its a dead ball
Is it over and back if a player catches the ball in the air and the lands on their side of the court?
I know AllSports has answered this - but you may (or may not ) find it helpful to know the 'why' of this - in addition to the straight answers.
Similar to a player who is throwing-in or has gone out of bounds during live ball play, a player must establish him/herself in bounds, or in this case - in the front court before he/she can legally touch the ball (assuming his/her team has control of the ball for front court). Both feet are required to be 'down' in order to establish this position. So in the case of a midair leap from back court to front - the player's feet were last established in the back court. He/she is technically in the back court until both feet touch down in the front court.
Not a requirement for establishing a position on the floor, whether it be in bounds, out of bounds, front court, or back court.
On a FT attempt, both teams simultaneously have a lane violation (shooter and lowman on the lane). What is the call in these situations:
- 1st shot of two FT attempts
- 2nd shot
- 1st shot on 1-and-1 attempt
I've heard it said that "The hand is part of the ball." So if a defensive player hits the hand of the offensive player with the ball, is this a foul or not? BTW, thanks for dong this thread, it's a great idea.
I know this one has been discussed in prior years, but I forgot the explanation:
Let's say that a held ball occurs and that Team A is awarded the ball on the alternating possession. Team A attempts to inbound the ball but ends up throwing it out of bounds, and it was never touched by anyone in play. Obviously, the ball goes back to Team B, but my question is this:
Does Team A retain the possession arrow because the ball was never actually put in play, or will Team B be awarded the next held ball?
I hope I'm making sense here. I asked this question to a few people last year and never arrived at a consensus.
When team A violates on an alternating possession throw-in, they lose the ball and the arrow. (Rule 6-4-5)
In your play, Team A violated by throwing the ball out of bounds, therefore B gets the ball for the ball out of bounds, and gets the arrow because of the violation.
So the offensive team player drives to the basket while out of control gets hammered by the defensive players. The offensive player does not run into anyone only the defensive players while smacking at the ball hit the offensive player.
Is this no foul?
Is this defensive foul?
Is this charging?
Is this a no call even tho he was hammered?
Is this a out of control offensive foul?
I would understand if he would get a charging call if he ran into the defensive players while "out of control".
Any thoughts?
This is what happened on the refs over and back call.
[A] players throws the ball in to player...[B player dribbles the ball near mid-court and throws ball toplayer which is over mid-court. Before [B ]player can get over mid court player throws it back to him and he catches it in the air and comes down with control of the ball and lands about a foot over mid court. The ref called over and back??????????????
Did the ref make the right call?

What is the hand rule for a defender guarding a player with the ball?
Is there a no hand contact at all or is a light contact allowed without arm extended? THX

If B's last touch on the court was in the back court before he caught the ball, it's a back court violation. B isn't in the front court until he touches down.
Rule 4-35: "ART. 1 . . . The location of a player or nonplayer is determined by where the player is touching the floor as far as being:
a. Inbounds or out of bounds.
b. In the frontcourt or backcourt......
ART. 3 . . . The location of an airborne player with reference to the three factors of Article 1 is the same as at the time such player was last in contact with the floor...
Can a player saving a ball from going out of bounds, go airborne in bounds catch the ball and while in mid air yell time out and its granted?
