One thing that would make this who issue easier would be to completely rewrite this rule.
My suggestion:
Make a neutral zone about 6' wide at midcourt. A player would not be in the FC until they touched anything in front of the neutral zone. At that time, they could no longer touch the area behind the neutral zone. With enough distance, there would be no need for a 3-points for a dribbler rule, throw-in exception, steal exception, case book plays about straddling the line, etc. If you touch in the FC, you are in the FC. If you touch in the BC, you are in the BC. If you are in the NZ, you are where you last touched (FC/BC).
