The exception only applies if the airborne catch is the touch that ends the throwin.

In 4.12.6B, player/team control isn't established until the ball and player are both in the BC.

Does this help?


Not sure this is correct High School wise. When touched, yes throw in ends. This DOES end the throwin, but DOESN'T establish Team Control. He caught the ball in the air, so where he started doesn't matter when it is thrown from out of bounds. He has Team Control in Backcourt. 10 Second Count begins. NO Backcourt Violation.
As illogicial and idiotic as the current ruling is, the above play is a violation.

The rule SHOULD be that team control is established when a player is dribbling or holding the ball and has both feet in contact with the floor....but it is not.
