If the player jumps from back court and lands with one foot in the back and one in the front (stradling the line) this is not back court he/she may then move forward to front court.

But if he/she does it the way you say then a back court must have acurred.

There is still no backcourt violation. The rules include an exception clause that allows a player to catch an inbound ball and land with feet on either side, stradling, or on the division line, in any order (even front court then back court) without a violation.

Most of the crowd will yell; many coaches will know the exception rule.
