A little learning is a dangerous thing, fonzzy. The rule is way, way, way more complicated than that, and your simplification only covers about half of the questions. Here are the simplifications that are a little more complete.
To have a bc violation, you must have:
1. Team control
2. Ball with frontcourt status
3. Team A player is last to touch before the ball gains bc status
4. Team A player is first to touch after the ball gains bc status.
The three point rule is that on a dribble from backcourt to frontcourt, the ball does not have frontcourt status until both feet of the dribbler and the ball have all touched in the fc in a row, without any touching in the bc.
Sounds byzantine? yea, but if you don't learn it correctly right from the beginning, and always remind yourself of all the details, it'll come back and bite you in the butt very soon.
