Another backcourt violation question

After a made basket a player receives the in bounds pass, proceeds to dribble up the court, decides for whatever reason to pick up his dribble while straddling the time line. One foot in the front court, one in the back court. The foot in the front court is the first touch into the front court. Violation?

No. If, however, he picks up his backcourt foot (FC foot now the pivot foot) and puts it back down in the BC, you have a violation.
Player has BC status until he is completely in the FC. For a non-dribbler, that means the only thing he's touching is the FC area (one or both feet with nothing touching the BC). For a dribbler, that means both feet and the ball.
