Mbyron - I think he means the first foot came down in the frontcourt as well, so it is a legal play.

The rule you want is 4-35. Article 2 says if your are not touching backcourt and are touching frontcourt, you are in the frontcourt. Number of feet does not matter.

ART. 1 . . . The location of a player or nonplayer is determined by where the
player is touching the floor as far as being:
a. Inbounds or out of bounds.
b. In the frontcourt or backcourt.
c. Outside (behind/beyond) or inside the three-point field-goal line.
ART. 2 . . . When a player is touching the backcourt, out of bounds or the threepoint
line, the player is located in backcourt, out of bounds or inside the threepoint
line, respectively.
ART. 3 . . . The location of an airborne player with reference to the three factors
of Article 1 is the same as at the time such player was last in contact with the floor
or an extension of the floor, such as a bleacher.
