For a dribbler, the ball has backcourt status until all three of the following are in the front court at the same time: Left foot, Right foot, and the ball. This applies to a dribbler only. Any two can be in the front court or backcourt and the ball still has backcourt status and the dribbler can legally retreat to the backcourt.
I would give credit if I knew who said it but I don't: You can dribble all the way to the baseline and back in to the backcourt while hopping on one foot if you were dribbling when you crossed the halfcourt line.
You should then whistle a 10 second violation on the dribbler.
I would not have whistled a BC violation by your description, but I was not there.
