In the first instance, there is no backcourt because there is no team control on a throw in.

I'm checking in late on this one, but the above statement is not correct. There is no team control on a throw-in, but that's NOT why the scenario is not a backcourt violation.

As JR has pointed out, the ONLY reason this is not a backcourt violation is that there is a specific exception to the rule. Without the exception, there is team control and front court status when the airborne player catches the ball as well as backcourt status when he lands. Normally, this is a backcourt violation. However, we have the exception in this particular case.

Can you tell me an instance when there is a throw-in in the FC, where there could be a BC violation with the exception of team control or player control?

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here, JR is well aware of the rules and various situations. Being that the throw-in ends when the ball is touched by a player, there isn't much happening "during" the throw-in. However immediately afterward BC violations might occur. (See BasketBallRef's backcourt quiz for examples.) The BC exemption would end if A1 (who received the throw-in in the air after jumping while in the FC)passed the ball to a teammate in the BC, lo, a BC violation

Ahhh, thats what I was looking for! Thanks.
