Lucky, I'm assuming that you do not have the Rules Book handy. Jurasick has pointed you in the right direction. They key is no team possession exists.
Rule 9-9-3....A player from the team not in control (defensive player or during a jump ball for throw in) may legally jump from his/her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or backcourt.
