You have to possess the ball in the front court before over and back can be called. The ball starting out of bounds in the front court does nothing to change that, all that matters is where possession begins in play. That is why I hate seeing players run back towards midcourt for an inbound pass and look down quickly like they couldn't let their momentum carry them in the back court. It is the same idea as the goal line in football on an interception. A player can pick a pass off and let their momentum carry them into the endzone without fear of a safety being called.
