Not sure exactly what was said and what was inferred, but there is no question of where one foot is deemed to be. In the matter of player location, 4-35-1 tells us: "The location of a player......is determined by where the player is touching the floor....."

If a player without the ball or a player holding the ball has something touching the frontcourt and nothing touching the backcourt, that player is located in the frontcourt.
