Wichita State at South Florida Game Thread

[Dan]

I think we’re gonna shake loose now. Starting to realize we can drive and draw fouls. Don’t have to settle for an off balance shot.

[AndShock]

46 is probably enough to win. Holy crap USF is bad

[Arizona Shocker]

Dex is back

[shoxlax]

Hey let’s get a Duke reference in!

You can stand in the front court and dribble in the back court all day. Well, for 30 seconds anyway.

Once you establish yourself in the front court, you can't dribble in the back court.

Need more buckets

JE is not adding much value when he can’t hit FTS and then gives up a 3 point play on the other end. 5 point swing.

[Blackmag]

Game is far from over

THATS NOT AN OVER AND BACK. BALL HAS TO BE IN THE FRONTCOURT YOU DUMBASS

Seriously, read the gd rulebook.

Agreed, ball and player have to be completely in the frontcourt before you can have a backcourt violation. Ball never fully made it across.

[Triticum]

I thought the same thing. it never touched the floor in the frontcourt.

It did touch the front court when he dribbled on the line. But it did not fully leave the back court, so it should not have been a violation.

Rule 4 - Section 3
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. It shall be in the front court when neither the ball nor the player is touching the back court.

Bogus foul on poor bear

[Mr. Pickle]

Grant is really bad tonight. Crunch time coming.

Once you establish yourself in the front court, you can't dribble in the back court.

Over-and-Back Violation

A basketball player may not dribble the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and then return to the backcourt again. This is called an over-and-back violation. However, the dribbler has quite a bit of leeway when in the process of dribbling. The dribbler is not considered to be in the front court until both feet and the basketball are in the front court. If the dribbler has one foot in the backcourt while the ball and the other foot are in the front court, the dribbler is still considered to be in the backcourt. However, once the dribbler has both feet and the ball in the front court, the ball must remain in the front court from that point forward.
