I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm not sure you cited the rule completely.

Jay, I'm only a layman here, but this seems clear: "Frontcourt/backcourt status is not attained until a player with the ball has established a positive position in either half during ... a throw-in in the last two minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period."
So the status of Wade in this case is not established while he's in the frontcourt until he has positive position, which he didn't have until he caught the ball.
Right?
