Now according to 4-12-1 it says "A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball"
And 6-1-2b says "the ball becomes live on a throw in when it is at the disposal of the thower"
So why isn't there player control as well as team control on this play? Why is it not back court? Rule references please

The player throwing the ball isn't considered in the frontcourt...the frontcourt is the inbound portion of the court.
Rule 4
SECTION 13 Court Areas
ART. 1 . . . A team’s frontcourt consists of that part of the court between its end line and the nearer edge of the division line, including its basket and the inbounds part of the backboard.
There must be player and team control in the frontcourt...meaning inbounds. When the player touches the ball inbounds in the frontcourt, there's team control in the frontcourt, but there's no player control in the frontcourt with the tip.
