Best Answer

A backcourt is a courtyard behind a housing block or tenement building, particularly in Scotland.

Alternatively, it can refer to a Basketball team's defensive half of the court - where the opposing team's basket is located.

The backcourt rule in basketball is simple. Once a team crosses over the half court line once and they do it again it is backcourt because you have to stay on that side of the court. But if you are passing the ball in you can pass it to the other side of the court and then dribble it over but that is the only exception.

What is backcourt in basketball?

One rule in basketball is, once you cross halfcourt with the ball, you cannot go back to the other half of the court; hence, backcourt. If you go backcourt, or go over halfcourt again after passing it with the ball, you turn the ball over, or give it to the other team, because backcourt is an illegal action in the game of basketball.

If you are dribbling the basketball in your side of the court what can cause a back court violation?

I.) The failure to bring the ball from the backcourt into the frontcourt in the allotted 10 seconds. II.) After offense brought the ball to frontcourt, if any player on offense causes the ball to be in their team's possession on the backcourt that is a violation. (once you cross the half court you can't touch that half court line or cross it). If the defense deflects the ball into the backcourt and the offense recovers the ball, it is not a backcourt violation. I could not find any document on this and basically describing it on my experience.
