As dumb as the ruling is, the above posts have the correct ruling.
However, I think the rule should be changed to not establish FC following a throwin until a player is holding/dribbling the ball while actually touching the FC and not touching the BC.
This is even more logical with the case where the ball, having been thrown form A1 to A2 (who has jumped from the FC), is tipped by B3 before A2 catches the ball then lands in the backcourt. By the current rule, this is a violation merely because B3 touched the ball before A2 caught it. Before the rewrite of the backcourt excpetions a few years ago, it was not a violation.
