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.

Back court is the other team's basket, and the opposite way in which you are supposed to be going. Front court is the basket and half court you are supposed to be going for.

Backcourt and Frontcourt - The names for the half-court areas in which the two teams play defense and offense respectively. One team's frontcourt is the opposing team's backcourt.
