The player has BC status when he/she jumps off the floor. Catches the ball(Player now has team/player control). 1st foot down in FC. Therefore FC status. Next foot lands in BC. BAM! Violation!!!

Under the current wording of the rule, I agree with you and said so in another thread which you started a few weeks months ago.
