The BEFORE requirement is where this fails. Simultaneous doesn't equal before.

Simultaneous, according to the venerable Mr. Webster, means "existing or occuring at the same time"...so the before and after take place at the same time in this scenario...I understand that you don't like the interp., but you really aren't giving a very good argument...the ball has frontcourt status until the moment the player catches it in the backcourt - so the two requirements happen simultaneously.
Anyway...how about them Indians??
