A team’s front court shall consist of that part of the playing court between its end line and the nearer edge of the division line, including its basket and the inbounds part of its backboard. Art. 2. A team’s back court consists of the rest of the playing court, including its opponent’s basket and inbounds part of the backboard and the division line, excluding the mathematical edge nearest the team’s basket. Art. 3. A live ball is in the front court or back court of the team in control as follows: a. A ball that is in contact with a player or with the playing court shall be in the back court when either the ball or the player (either player when the ball is touching more than one) is touching the back court.[B] It shall be in the front court when neither the ball nor the player is touching the back court.[/B] b. A ball that is not in contact with a player or the playing court retains the same status as when it was last in contact with a player or the playing court. c. During a dribble from back court to front court, the ball shall be in the front court when both feet of the dribbler and the ball touch the playing court entirely in the front court. Art. 4. A player shall not be the first to touch the ball in his back court (with any part of his body, voluntarily or involuntarily) when the ball came from the front court while that player’s team was in team control and that player or his teammate was the last to touch the ball before it went into the back court. Art. [B]5. A pass in the front court that is deflected by a defensive player so that the ball goes into the back court may be recovered by either team. [/B] Neither the ball nor Cooney were touching the back court. Thus, the fall was in the front court. The deflected pass was recovered by a Zag. Ok, they blew the call...big deal, they gave Gonzaga a gift at the end...it happens, get over it. [/QUOTE]
