The 3 points of contact he is referring to is for a dribbler. When dribbling from the backcourt to the frontcourt; the dribbler remains in the backcourt until both feet and the ball have crossed the center line. This requirement is only when dribbling. In your scenario where you catch a pass straddling the line once you pick up the foot that in the back court you now have achieved frontcourt status. If you set the foot down in the backcourt it is a violation.
