1. This is NOT a backcourt violation and the reason is 9-9-3 as others have already written. That rule specifically exempts a player under these conditions from committing a backcourt violation. BTW he establishes both player and team control the moment that he catches the ball while airborne. He just gets a free pass when he lands in the backcourt because of the rule.

2. The definition of a team control foul is that it is a COMMON foul. The defintion of a common foul is "a personal foul which is neither flagrant nor intentional nor committed against a player trying or tapping for a field goal nor a part of a double, simultaneous or multiple foul."

Therefore, flagrant and intentional fouls cannot be team control fouls because the definition says so.
