The ball can be thrown into the BC on any throw-in. Where the ball is inbounded doesn't have anything to do with it. You won't find anything in the RB on it because it's not illegal.
9-9-2 refers to a sitaution where A1 passes the ball from the BC into the FC, where it hits an official or the floor and then rebounds back into the BC were A1 touches it.
Exception 1 is simply saying that during a jump ball or throw-in, even though a player has FC status and establishes team control while in the air, he can legally land in his own BC.
As for Exception 2, if a defense player jumps from his FC, and intercepts a pass while in flight, he can legally land in his own BC.
The Note means simply what it says. It makes no difference which foot hits the floor first in Exceptions 1 and 2. The play is legal.
Are you sure you're the same guy that sent me the NF Part II exam for scoring and made 97 on it?

Now, that's not nice! So I had a braincramp, it happens. You should have seen it when I called it, ugly. Whistle, pause, help from coach "yea,backcourt", backcourt signal, change mind no, it's not, change mind again "yes, it is". I stuck with the call and was right next to coach I called it on, I turned to him and confidently lied "the exception to the backcourt rule on a throw-in only applies to the first player to gain possession". He was speechless, gave me this look like "whatever, I think your f***ng nuts, but what the heck ever". Anyway, Tony, never said I was perfect, that's why I missed 3 questions on purpose so you wouldn't expect me to be flawless.
