I have to admit, I've done a 180 on this, twice.
1. tip in front court establishes ball location (by anyone in frontcourt)
2. A jump by a player from his frontcourt means he last had frontcourt location.
3. by catching the ball while airborne he has both frontcourt ball status and frontcourt player status
4. by landing or throwning the ball into the backcourt which is first touched by a teammate .... a violation has been committed.
I don't think it matter if the first tip was incidental or intentional on this interpretation...just that it occurred in the frontcourt
a touch by the airborne player into the backcourt, if deemed unintentional would mean no player/team control and he or teammate could retrieve with no violation being committed.
Without the tip a leap from the frontcourt and catch in midair because you don't have frontcourt status with the ball...
