I agree. The four criteria are met:
1) Team Control
2) Ball in FC
3) A last to touch before ball goes to BC
4) A first to touch after ball goes to BC
But, ONE OF THE EXCEPTIONS is also met. So, it's a legal play. And, there's no "inbound in the FC"
See 9-9: ART. 3 . . . A player from the team not in control (defensive player or during a
jump ball or throw-in) may legally jump from his/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 backcourt.
