Just to add another vote for the correct ruling, there was no violation in either situation. No such thing as "team control" on a throw in. Also, to tack on to the throw-in situation at half-court where A2 leaps from frontcourt to backcourt, not only is there NO violation, but had he leaped in the air, received the ball, then landed with one foot first in frontcourt and then the other in the backcourt, there would STILL be no violation. The exceptions that Rusty mentioned (plus a 3rd--stealing the ball in the air) all permit a "normal landing" in those situations, even if it seems the player landed first in the frontcourt and then stepped into his backcourt.
