I'm checking in late on this one, but the above statement is not correct. There is no team control on a throw-in, but that's NOT why the scenario is not a backcourt violation.

As JR has pointed out, the ONLY reason this is not a backcourt violation is that there is a specific exception to the rule. Without the exception, there is team control and front court status when the airborne player catches the ball as well as backcourt status when he lands. Normally, this is a backcourt violation. However, we have the exception in this particular case.
Can you tell me an instance when there is a throw-in in the FC, where there could be a BC violation with the exception of team control or player control?
A1 throws to A2 who jumped from the FC, catches the ball and while still in the air, passes it to A3 who is standing in the BC.
