And, surprisingly to me, JRutledge would be correct (not surprised that JRutledge was correct, but surprised that more than just a few outliers would think this was an obvious violation).
I should have paid attention to my own comment.

Early IAABO Make The Call Video comments:
This is a backcourt violation. Unlike a throw in.
This is a backcourt violation. Established front court status
This is a backcourt violation. The player must establish back court status before he touches the ball.
This is a backcourt violation. Front court established, then steps into backcourt. A violation.
This is a backcourt violation. Appears that play was in front court and jumps into the air to get the jump ball tipped into the air.
This is a backcourt violation. No team position on the tip. Caught the ball in the air. Landed in the backcourt (one or both feet, or the center line).
This is a backcourt violation.The player who received the ball had established front court status, but received the ball in the backcourt, before establishing backcourt status. Backcourt violation.
This is a backcourt violation. Hell of a way to start the game.
This is a backcourt violation. By rule-yes.
This is a backcourt violation. Feet in frontcourt when jumped.
That's just from the first hundred, or so, comments.
I fully empathize with some calling this a backcourt violation in the heat of a real game, in real time. A jump ball is, after all, a microburst of mayhem for many, but it's so much easier to get it right in a video, especially when one knows in advance that something "weird" is about to happen.
