Frontcourt scoring is by the forwards and centers; backcourt scoring is by the guards. (Of course, with a lot of programs, particularly women's programs, going to three-guard offenses, this can be a bit misleading).
But it's specifically different from "Points in the Paint," which can be from anyone in the lane.
(I'm an SID at a D-III school in the Twin Cities, and frequently do stats for TV and radio with NCAA/NBA games in Minnesota).
