Backcourt Violation, player steps on mid court line Backcourt Violation, ball is passed from frontcourt to backcourt Backcourt Violation, ball is passed from frontcourt to backcourt
“This is an example of a Backcourt violation. The offensive player, Lonzo Ball, passes to his teammate, Nicolo Melli, but the pass takes Melli into the backcourt to gather it. Since he is in his backcourt when he gathers the pass, this is a violation. Note that once a player establishes position in his frontcourt, he cannot move into his backcourt, nor may he pass the ball to a teammate positioned in the backcourt.”
