Yes, they are in the FC because that was the last place that touched the floor as an airborne player.
Rule 4-35-3 says:
Quote:
|
The location of an airborne player with reference to the three factors of Article 1 is the same as at the time such player last was in contact with the floor or the extension of the floor, such as a bleacher.

Rule 4-35-1 says:
Quote:
Art. 1....The location of the player or nonplayer is determined by where the person is touching the floor as far as being:
a. inbounds or out-of-bounds.
b. In the frontcourt or backcourt
c. Outside (behind/beyond) or inside the three-point field-goal line.
|
4-35-1b clearly makes it clear what location a player is in. It does not matter for violations purposes as this is an exception to the backcourt rule on throw-ins, jump balls or a player on defense.
Peace
