But even with airborne control, it can't be a backcourt violation because of the throwin exception.

But with airborne control it can still be a travel violation, lifting the first foot to touch down, the pivot foot.

That's not illegal. The pivot must be returned to the floor for a traveling violation to occur, unless the player starts a dribble.
