NFHS Rule 9-9-1 A player shall not be the first to touch a ball after it has been in team control in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt.
Or...the ball could fully return to the frontcourt and the offensive player could be the first to touch it there after it has been in the backcourt and last touched by that player or a teammate. So reaching over the plane isn't really even required.

But I believe that the poster was simply asking what Dexter answered for him.
