Never had this happen, but from what I remember that is a backcourt violation if the player catches the ball in the air and doesn't return to the floor in the backcourt before passing to a teammate in the backcourt.

Why wouldn't it be a violation? Ball was controlled by a player established in FC (that is where he took off from) and passed to a teammate in BC.

Right, but if he doesn't pass the ball to the teammate he can land in the backcourt with the ball and he has not committed a violation.

was just responding to the OP scenario and not discussing alternatives, but good point in case there is confusion.

FWIW, this (passing the ball to another playher) used to be legal in NCAA.
