Rule 9-9-3

If B1 jumps from his/her fromtcourt, intercepts/catches the ball while both feet are off the ground, then the denfensive player is allowed a normal landing. The order of the feet touching the court has no bearing on front court/back court status.
So say the first foot lands in B1's front court then the second foot lands in the back court. This is legal. No violation. B1 has back court status. Also the 1st foot down is the pivot foot. Now, if B1 lifts the foot that is in back court and returns it to back court. This is where the violation occurs. It would be best for B1 to either start dribbling in backcourt or pass to another player in back court to maintain back court status.
Got it?
