"So.. quick snap trick... is this possible?

I recieve, my diving catcher is on the line. The ball is about to land in my catchers square. I get quick snap. I move the catcher into opponent half. I use diving catch to try to catch it. Touchback! I give the ball to any player on my team.?"

I would say legal.

as long as you actually catch the ball. it does not move into your square unless you catch it.

Not the case, as a failed catch will bounce from the catching player's square, so it is as if the ball hand landed in the catching player's square, so touchback.
