Question

During a game, the attacking team made a move to score a basket and entered the opponent’s court. But the defending team did not let the attack happen. So, the attacking player passed the ball to another player positioned in his own court.

What will be the decision of the referee?

Answer 1

This is an over‑and‑back (backcourt) violation. The referee will stop play, rule a turnover, and award the ball to the defending team for a throw‑in.
