We went back and forth on this during an association meeting tonight. It's a test question, but I've forgotten which number (maybe 99?).
During a throw-in, A1 jumps from A's front court, catches the inbound pass, and passes it to A2 who is in A's back court before A1 touches the ground in back court.
Is this a back court violation?
Some said yes because he had front court status, got posession (and team control), then it was touched first in back court by a team mate.
Others argued no, that the exception about jumping to back court to catch a throw-in covered this case.
What is the right answer?

I have already voted and I am getting ready to take our oldest son to school because it is raining (I know, I know, I told him that when I was in H.S. I walked to and from school everyday in 12" of snow, 5 mi uphill each way, but I digress) and then I have to go stand in the rain and hand out campaign literature for a friend who is running for county judge.
The preceding paragraph means that I do not have my rules books in front of me to give a rules or casebook/approved ruling reference.
The play in this post has to correct answers, depending upon whether the game is being played using NFHS or NCAA rules.
NFHS: Violation by Team A.
NCAA: Legal.
The best part is the the rule in both codes are the same word for word. But the rulings are spelled out in an NFHS Casebook Situation and a NCAA Approved Ruling.
