Backcourt Violation?

How did I do?

As much as I dislike this ruling, you are correct.

The exception for the throwin ends when the ball is touched inbounds. Only the first player to touch the ball has the freedom to have jumped from the frontcourt, catch the ball, and land in the backcourt.

If I were writing the rule, I'd have the exception apply until a layer gains PC and lands (or passes the ball before landing) without regard to how many times it is tipped (or by who).
