Player holds ball straddling division line -- Player and ball are in BC (when a player is touching both BC and FC, the player is in BC).
Player lifts BC foot -- player and ball are now in FC (the "three points" rule applies only to a dribbler -- not to a player holding the ball; if a player is only touching the FC, s/he's in the FC).
Player places foot on floor in BC -- player and ball are in BC.
So, it's a violation.
Note that if the player "drags" his / her BC foot (as you ask), that the second step above hasn't happened -- the player has remained in the BC.
So, it's a violation.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but read Bob's response and was wondering...
If A1 is in the backcourt and makes a sudden turn to go along the division line so that they're in the front court with their feet but in the back court with their dribble what's the call? I assume that the BC count would continue since the ball hasn't touched the FC yet. Am I right?
