To my understanding, even facing backwards, if your come down on the balls of your feet and immediately jump or step backwards without any other part of your foot touching out of bounds...it's a catch. 

I keep reading where the "heel has to be down". I've never read or heard that before. 

If you come down on the balls of your feet in bounds, but then your heel comes down out of bounds...it's not a catch. 

That's how i've always thought it to be. 

Yeah. If he had managed to either drag his toes and twist so his heels didn't hit down at all, or if he had been able to after the toe touch then lift his foot up and THEN take a step, then he'd be good.

Because he didn't drag the toes, and he didn't lift the foot up after the toe touch, it's considered still part of just the same step and thus he can't step out at all.
