Good video. I wish fans would pay particular attention to the dribbler portion (all three points of contact -- both feet and the ball) of this rule. For some reason, everyone who doesn't know the rule thinks ANY contact with the division line puts the player in the front court. Except that the division line is actually in the BACK court! Think about it: if a player is in the front court and touches the division line with a foot or the ball (as a dribbler) have they committed a violation? YES! So how could they be in the front court by touching something that would, in a different scenario, cause a back court violation?
