Another backcourt question

Isn't frontcourt status established when the first foot lands in the front court? So when the second foot comes down in the back court it would be a violation.. What am I missing?

9-9-3 - last sentence: "The player may make a normal landing, and it makes no difference whether the first foot down is in the frontcourt or backcourt."

Thanks, I don't have my rulebooks at work so I'll look at that tonight.

Hawkeye mentioned the NFHS rule.

In NCAA, I think that exact play may be a violation???

Nope - Same as NFHS. NCAA 4-3-8 has the same wording as NFHS 9-9-3.
