I said YES - because I was pretty sure there's something that states that when you intercept a pass you can land in your own backcourt and it's legal. Can't find the rule though and it's eating me.... any help would be appreciated!

Rule 9
SECTION 9 BACKCOURT
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.
