Yep. And by rule you can judge that a player holding the ball and hopping on the non-pivot foot all over the front court is legal.
I'd disagree with that one. When a player hops (read jumps), it is a travel:

"If the player jumps, neither foot may be returned to the floor before the ball is released on a pass or try for goal."

However, the backcourt status while hopping is, while it will never occur, correct. The 3-pionts rule is pretty specific that the dribbling player is in the backcourt until both feet (and the ball) touch in the frontcourt.
