The 'back court' actually has two meanings. The first refers to the players at the two positions of Point Guard and Shooting Guard. Collectivly they are refered to as a teams 'back court'. Whereas the Power Foward, Center, and Small Foward positions are refered to as a teams 'front court.' The second meaning is more obvious. The half of the court that is behind a team while trying to score is the 'back court.' So, the half that does not have the basket that you are trying to score in is the 'back court.'
