I had the way that exception is written. In fact, be for the "Editorial Clarification" a few years ago, this was not a violation. The exceptions existed but were worded differently. The way they WERE worded permitted a team that gained team control in the air (on or following a throwin or through a steal or after a shot) to land in the backcourt without risk of violating. That was much more sensible. They rewrote the rule to clarify it and completely changed it. The current rule doesn't make much sense, but it is what it is.
