I think it would be useful to add - assuming I have stated this properly . . .
A player catching a throw-in pass while in the air may contact the frontcourt initially and subsequently make a legal landing that includes contact with the backcourt.

I don't believe this is correct. A player receiving an inbounds pass may catch the ball in the air, having left the ground in the front court, and then land in the back court. Once they touch the front court, they have established the ball as front court and may not go back court.
