If player receives pass in the air from his leaving his feet in the frontcourt last and the defensive player touches the inbounds pass, you now immediately have to go with player location at that moment which in this case is the receiving player being in the frontcourt, receives inbounds pass and now lands in the backcourt for a violation.
A shot off the rim touching the offensive man and into the backcourt shows no possession yet so legal to retrieve ball in backcourt.
Same for an inbounds pass from baseline with throw lofting to the half-court line where a receiving offensive player is not sure where his location is so he jumps and tips the ball into the backcourt making it all legal with no possession. But if touched by defense on inbounds pass, it ends and player location is immediately established. Mid-court immediately becomes an out of bounds line for offense.
I love this game.

You are so wrong it's hard to decide where to start.
It doesn't matter who touches the ball. If no team control is established, the "offensive" team can recover the ball in their backcourt any time.
You're getting confused about two very different scenarios.
If a player tips a throw-in pass, then an offensive player catches the ball while airborne from the frontcourt
he/she creates player and team control with frontcourt status at that time. When he/she lands in the backcourt, it's a backcourt violation.
The only time a player can jump from his/her frontcourt, catch the ball, and land in his/her backcourt is during a throw-in. That is the 9.3.3 exception. It has nothing to do with recovering a ball that has backcourt status.
