Back Court Status When Straddling Division Line in Throwins
A basketball ruling explains that a player receiving the ball while straddling the division line is in the back court. Lifting the front foot does not change this status, and stepping across the line multiple times is allowed within a 10 second limit before a back-court violation is charged. In a separate throw-in, stepping on but not over the out-of-bounds line is legal.
