During a throwin, any player may legally jump from his or her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor, and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or the backcourt. This is not a backcourt violation.

Not really, all they would have to change is the last statement in the first one , "Team control has not yet been established." All it would be then is a stipulation on throw ins in both 1st and 2nd statement. IMO
