I believe that you are still in the backcourt until you've established both feet in the frontcourt.    So in this situation because the other player had established possession in the frontcourt a pass to your son, if he hadn't established both feet in the frontcourt would effectively be a pass to a player in the backcourt.   See Article 2 of Section 23 below.    Sounds like the real question was a judgment call (did he get both feet in the front court before touching the ball) as opposed to a rules interpretation.
  
[I]Section 23. Location of a Player
Art. 1.
 The location of a player (or non-player) is determined as being:
a. Where he is touching the floor, as far as being inbounds or out of bounds.
b. In the front court or back court.
c. Outside the three-point line with at least one foot in contact with the playing floor behind the line before the 
release of the try and the other foot not contacting the line or the playing floor in front of the line.

Art. 2.
[B]When a player is in the air from a leap[/B] (except during a throw-in) or 
when a defensive player intercepts a ball while in the air, [B]the player’s status[/B] with 
reference to these two situations s[B]hall be the same as at the time the player was 
last in contact with the floor [/B]or an extension of the floor, such as a bleacher.

Art. 3.
 When the ball touches an official or a player who is on the playing court, 
play shall continue as if the ball touched the floor at that individual’s location.[/I]
