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.
Yet another example of why it would be so much simpler for the common man (spectators), uncommon man (coaches) to understand and simpler for the even more uncommon man (referees) to enforce if the NFHS instituted the rule that ALL THREE ELEMENTS (BOTH FEET and the BALL) MUST be in the front court BEFORE a back court violation can occur.

No need for the "exceptions" -- nor any need for the end of the exceptions, etc.
