It does NOT pertain to a situation in which the team causes the ball to go: frontcourt to the backcourt and back to the frontcourt. That is the example which the two of you gave.
Yabut - you emphasized NEVER. Triply so. Just pointing out the semantics of the words, if you will.

Additionally, Scrapper pointed out that in your scenario the violation would occur prior to the player landing, no matter if he lands in the frontcourt or the backcourt.
Yup. We all agree on that.

Remember you have to read it in that philosophical, Jesuit way.

Now if you want semantics, I could amend it, just for you, to say:
"If the player does not violate immediately upon touching the ball, it is NEVER..."

But it's not really necessary to do so since I didn't say anything about the ball in that post!
