Back court violation question

[gdudik]

NFHS 9-9-3.

"During a jump ball, throw-in or while on defense, a player may legally jump from his/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."

Why does this even matter? The ball was never in the frontcourt. A2 was simply coming from the backcourt into the frontcourt with the ball.
