Sam, Hawks Coach is right (no surprise there!) that both of your scenarios would be violations, both in HS and NCAA.
The reason is that your paraphrase above is incorrect in one crucial element. The ball does NOT have to be touched in the backcourt. The requirement is merely that (after the ball has attained frontcourt status) the offense can't be the first to touch the ball
after it has achieved backcourt status.
Hope that helps.
