What about when someone catches the pass in the air and lands with the 1st foot in frontcourt and the 2nd foot in backcourt
This is part of 9-9 Exception 1 & 2 which applies on a jump ball/throw-in or the defense stealing the ball. In these situations, a player may jump from his frontcourt, secure the ball and land in the backcourt w/o violating. The player is allowed to make a normal landing and it makes no difference if the first foot hits in the frontcourt or the backcourt. (Case 9.9D) When the second foot hit in the backcourt, both the player and the ball now have backcourt status and the player may retreat deeper into the backcourt if he wishes, though the 10 second count should have started.
However, if Team A passes the ball from the backcourt and it is secured by airborne A2 who leapt from the frontcourt, it'll be a violation the instant A2 touches the backcourt with the ball...
Keep asking questions until you have it down cold. When you're on the court you're not going to have the time to think this through...
