When a player is holding the ball, we're only concerned with the feet. The division line "plane" is not an issue.

Just to further clarify...

All three points must touch the FC consecutively or simultaneously. If they get left foot front, right foot front, dribble back, dribble back, right foot back, dribble front....it doesn't count. They've never reached the front court.
