over and back

There and return

Over and back is a basketball violation where the offensive team, having advanced the ball past midcourt, returns it to the backcourt.

Once a team establishes possession in the frontcourt, crossing back over the halfcourt line results in a turnover: The point guard's errant pass was ruled over and back.
