For clarity, I want to emphasize the final sentences of 9-9-3, the 'exception' statute: "The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or backcourt."
I believe on of BktBallRef's Backcourt Quiz questions brings out the fact that, were a player to land on one foot in the frontcourt and stay on that foot while trying to make a play, the exception would terminate, the player would be in the frontcourt, and could no longer bring a foot down in the backcourt, nor jump off of one onto two in the backcourt.
