Back-court or not and Why?

There is no team control on the throw in..OK. When A1 jumped from the frontcourt into the air and caught the ball, since A1 was the first to touch, when the throw-in ends (on the touch by A1) there is no court status established. A1 could land in the back court, could tap the ball into the back court chase it down & could pass the ball into the back court to another player without violating. The only way this would be a violationis if A2 also jumped in the air & A1 tipped or passed the ball to A2 & A2 landed in backcourt or passed to another team mate in backcourt.

Now if another player had tipped the ball prior to A1 touching or catching it, not even A1 could land in the backcourt because the throw-in ended & A1 now has frontcourt status when they jumped in the air.

In your play, no violation, play on.

Oh, wow. You couldn't be more wrong. The exception does not state that A1 doesn't establish player/team control in the FC, it only states that he's allowed to land normally. You're just flat wrong about that.

Now, go read the case plays in 9.9.
