I'm not quite sure what you're saying here, but something is wrong.
1) "Alight" means to land. I'm not sure how a player "lands from the backcourt."
2) If the player leaves the floor from the BC and catches the ball thrown from the BC, then lands in the FC, it's a legal play.
To Ege31 -- In the original play, note that the exception in the BC rule (an airborne player may catch the ball and land in the BC) applies only to a THROW IN, not to a pass from the BC. As described, the play is a violation.
