Agree.

During a throwin, any player may legally jump from his, or her, frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor, and return to the floor with one, or both, feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing, and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt, or the backcourt.

Same exception for any player during a jump ball, or for a defensive player in making a steal.

Nice video JRutledge. Thanks.
