Nit picking, but a great point. And we all know what Felix Unger always tells us about assuming (young'uns can check it out on the Google).

It does give him frontcourt status but it's not a backcourt violation due to the "defense" backcourt rule exception.
9-9-3 Backcourt: During a jump ball, throw-in or while on defense, a player may legally jump from his/her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or backcourt.
