Section 12. Backcourt
Art. 1. A team’s frontcourt shall consist of that part of the playing court between its end line and the nearer edge of the division line, including its basket and the inbounds part of its backboard�
Art. 2. A team’s backcourt consists of the rest of the playing court, including its opponent’s basket and inbounds part of the backboard and the division line, excluding the mathematical edge nearest the team’s basket�
Art. 3. A live ball is in the frontcourt or backcourt 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 backcourt when either the ball or the player (either player when the ball is touching more than one) is touching the backcourt� It shall be in the frontcourt when neither the ball nor the player is touching the backcourt�
b� A ball that is not in contact with a player or the playing court retains the same status as when it was last in contact with a player or the playing court�
c� During a dribble from backcourt to frontcourt, the ball shall be in the frontcourt when both feet of the dribbler and the ball touch the playing court entirely in the frontcourt�
Art. 4. A player shall not be the first to touch the ball in his backcourt (with any part of his body, voluntarily or involuntarily) when the ball came from the frontcourt while that player’s team was in team control and that player or his teammate was the last to touch the ball before it went into the backcourt�
Art. 5. A pass in the frontcourt that is deflected by a defensive player so that the ball goes into the Backcourt may be recovered by either team�
Art. 6. Regardless of where the throw-in spot is located, the throw-in team may cause the ball to go into the backcourt before player control has been established by the throw-in team on the playing court�
Art. 7. After the throw-in ends, an inbounds player in the frontcourt, who is not in control of the ball, may cause the ball to go into the backcourt�
Art. 8. A player who is the first to secure control of the ball in the frontcourt after a jump ball or a throw-in while both feet are off the playing court shall not be permitted to cause the ball to go into the backcourt, except as permitted in Rule 9-12�10�

Art. 9. A defensive player shall be permitted to secure control of the ball while both feet are off the playing court and land with one or both feet in the Backcourt� It makes no difference if the first foot down was in the frontcourt or backcourt�
Art. 10. After a jump ball or during a throw-in, the player in his frontcourt, who makes the initial touch on the ball while both feet are off the playing court, may be the first to secure control of the ball and land with one or both feet in the backcourt� It makes no difference if the first foot down was in the frontcourt or backcourt�
PENALTY (Section 2-12):
The ball shall become dead or remain dead when a violation occurs. When the ball passes through a basket during the dead ball period immediately after a violation, no point(s) can be scored. The ball shall be awarded to the opponents for a throw-in at a designated spot nearest to where the violation occurred.
That is the entire rule. It says absolute nothing about re-establishing in the back court. The ball must be in control by your team and in the front court for a violation to possibly occur.
