How about this? A1 dribbling in his/her backcourt passes to A2 in the frontcourt who immediatly passes back to A1 who now has stepped one foot into frontcourt and has the other foot in the air?

I read that the player has court status based on where he/she is touching or last touched the floor. Therefore, legal play.

I get two different answers from others. Some say A1 has to have two feet in front court to establish status. I can't find the reference to the number of feet, only where the player is touching.

By the way, the four points are: the ball must have frontcourt status, team control must be established, offense is the last to touch in front court and the first to touch in the back...right?
Absolutely legal based on your description. The player has frontcourt status is anything is touching frontcourt and nothing is touching backcourt.

Those four points would qualify a backcourt violation.
