Scenario #1-Team A has a front court throw in and throws the ball into the back court. While the ball is in flight A1 jumps from the front court-catches the ball in the air and lands in the back court. I assume that the ball is not in the front court (as it pertains to the over and back violation) until the ball is controled by A. Thus no over and back-Correct?
FrankHtown answered for scenario #1. It is just an exception to the rule. Don't worry about the team/player control issues.
Secenario #2-A1 is dribbling the ball (has control) in the front court and steps on the division line. The ball never crosses the division line. I assume this is an over and back violation regardless of whether or not the ball actually crosses the division line.
It is not entirely clear from your post. If I assume that you mean that A1 had already dribbled the ball in the frontcourt, then it is a backcourt violation when he/she steps on the line. If the ball was still being dribbled in the backcourt, then it is not a violation. The division line is part of the backcourt.
