Backcourt Violation, ball is passed from frontcourt to player with backcourt status Backcourt Violation, ball is passed from frontcourt to player with backcourt status Legal play, offensive player shoots over corner of backboard, successful basket
“This is an example of a Backcourt violation. The offensive player, Mario Hezonja, receives the pass from his teammate, Gary Trent Jr., who had established legal frontcourt position. Since Hezonja is positioned in his backcourt when he receives 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.”
