Just another comment for Jimm to clarify his understanding:

A player IS fully in the frontcourt (FC) when both feet AND the ball have established FC status (completely over and into the FC). Once the player has established FC status, the FC edge of the division line now like an OOB line, it delineates the boundary of the FC. Any contact with the division line or complete crossing over constitutes a Violation.

With a defender in his face he takes a step back into the back court and passes to a teammate in the front court.

A VIOLATION has occurred, because the player has returned to the BC with the ball in his/her possession.
