As I am not smart enough to quote the books or cite a paragraph number, etc., I always explain it this way:
If you are on the court and jumping to save a ball that is going out of bounds and you jump and touch the ball while you are in the air, you are not out of bounds until you land or touch something out of bounds.
Same applies for this situation: If you are in the backcourt and jumping to the frontcourt and you jump and hit/catch the ball while you are in the air, you are not in the frontcourt until you land in the frontcourt.
Most understand the analogy.
As always - "you are where you are, until you get where you're going"
