The exception depends upon the team not being in control; remove this aspect, and the exception doesn't apply. It only needs tweaking, but....

Backcourt ??
 
During a throwin, even under a team’s own basket, if the throwin is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; or after a missed field goal attempt or a missed foul shot attempt, if the ball is deflected, tipped, or batted by an offensive player in the frontcourt to an offensive player in the backcourt; these are not a backcourt violations. In both cases team control, a player holding or dribbling the ball, has not yet been established.

During a throwin or jump ball, any player; or a defensive player, in making a steal; may legally jump from his or her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor, and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. The player may make a normal landing and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or the backcourt. These three situations are not backcourt violations.

1. This is NOT a backcourt violation and the reason is 9-9-3 as others have already written. That rule specifically exempts a player under these conditions from committing a backcourt violation. BTW he establishes both player and team control the moment that he catches the ball while airborne. He just gets a free pass when he lands in the backcourt because of the rule.

2. The definition of a team control foul is that it is a COMMON foul. The defintion of a common foul is "a personal foul which is neither flagrant nor intentional nor committed against a player trying or tapping for a field goal nor a part of a double, simultaneous or multiple foul."

Therefore, flagrant and intentional fouls cannot be team control fouls because the definition says so.
