That is precisely a last to touch, first to touch situation. If that was what happened, the player was touching the ball before it went to the backcourt (last to touch), was still touching the ball at the moment it went to the backcourt, and continued touching it in the backcourt (first to touch).

Which is why I quoted you. Here is what you said....

First to touch and last to touch is not the only way you can have a backcourt violation.

The statement in red is incorrect.
