No Call, Team nor Player control exists during a throw in.
similar situation; a1 making throw in from halfcourt, makes throw in to a2 who is airbournefrom the frontcourt, catches the ball and land with one foot in the front court and in a normal landing the other foot in the back court. and the call is?

No Call
9.9.3 in the rule book says "a player from the team not in control (defensive player or during a jump ball or throw-in) may legally jump form his/her frontcourt, secure ocntrol of the ball with both feet off the floor and reutrn to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or backcourt."

Here's a question.
How about a jump stop on this play? A2 catches the ball airborne, one foot down in FC and jump stop landing in BC.
Violation?

My Interpretation:
1st I refer back to 9.1.3 where the player can land on one foot in frontcourt than the other in back.
2nd in 4.43.2b2 If one foot is one the floor: the player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both. (neither foot can be a pivot in this case)
Because 9.1.3 says that teamcontrol is not established till the airborne player has both feet on the floor and 4.43 says that it is legal to jump off of one foot and land on both:
I would say NO VIOLATION.
Remember just my interpretation

Team control is established when a player of that team gains player control. Player control is established when a player is holding or dribbling a live ball. Neither of those requires two, one or any feet on the floor.
If you're referring to the exception about the airborne player (quoted as 9.3.3 above), realize this is an exception to the general rule. If a player in front court, in control of the ball, touches back court it is a violation, except for the exception. The exception also uses the words "normal landing." A jump stop is not a normal landing. The jump stop situation has the player in control in the front court jumping to back court. Violation.
