Yes, this is a BC violation.

Just remember this for NFHS rules, 2 over, and 1 back.
You have to have all three points over before it is a back court violation.
But once you do get all three over, you only have to have one point over to have a back court violation.

This only applies to a dribble. If the player above had lifted his foot from the BC, using the FC foot as a pivot, and then put the BC foot back down in the BC, it would be a violation. That's true, even though neither the ball or the back foot touched the FC.

I've been watching for that for years and haven't bagged me one yet.

Not only theoretcially but also legalistically. You'll have to decide if you should call it realistically.
