Legal play, player’s momentum carries him into backcourt, not a violation Legal play, ball is legally tapped into backcourt Legal play, ball is legally tapped into backcourt
“This is an example of a play that would not be considered a backcourt violation. The player on the offensive team, DeAndre Jordan, taps the rebound of his teammate’s missed shot backwards towards his own basket. The ball is then retrieved by his teammate, Chris Chiozza, in his backcourt. But as the ball was only tapped, and there was no control on the play, this would be deemed a legal play, and not a backcourt violation.”
