If he picks up his foot that is in the backcourt does he now have front court status?
If he then puts it back down in the backcourt is it a backcourt violation?
I have heard the term used "you are where you were, until you get where your going", does that apply here?
As a non-dribbler does he have backcourt status until both feet reach the frontcourt?

Yes.

Yes.

No. That applies to an airborne player.

No.
