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.
