It cannot be back in the back court until it takes a bounce.
Am I missing something?

This is exactly how I see it too! I'm not even sure where the confusion lies???
I had a situation that would be similar to this this year.
A1 passing the ball around the perimeter to A2 while in the FC. B1 deflects the pass and the ball is heading for the BC. The ball is moving fairly fast and takes it's last bounce just before the division line in the FC. A2 runs 5 feet into the BC and secures the ball. The ball never bounced in the BC. I called the violation. The crowd didn't like it, lol, because it was deflected.
