As the defense backs off and still in the back court, the player dives, regains control of the ball and slides, coming to a stop with their hips, head and ball in the frontcourt and their butt and feet in the backcourt.
As the defense now swarms around the ball handler, he picks up his feet and quickly passes the ball to a teammate in the backcourt who leads a 4-on-2 fast break and passes for an easy layup. (For the record, the feet went from on-the-floor to in-the-air but the player's butt stayed stationary)
But hold on a minute...it all happened so fast that the refs whistle wasn't heard and after a few emphatic tweets, play comes to a hault!
You're the Royal ref...what's your call???

My understanding is its the ball that is the issue, if ball crosses mid court it would be over back to pass it back over midcourt.
