To really split hairs....

I could see the player catching the ball in the air, landing with his first foot in the front court, the second foot also touches in the front court, however, he does not have balance and is falling. He then pivots on the first foot, moving the second foot into the backcourt when he finally gains his balance.

I'd hate to see this in a game, because I'm not sure how I'd call it.
