Backcourt on throw in
 
Where in the rule book can I find the exception that, on a throw in, if Player A jumps from his frontcourt, catches the ball while in the air and lands in the backcourt, it's not a violation?

During a throwin, or jump ball, any player; or a defensive player, in making a steal; may legally jump from his or her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor, and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt. 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.
