Team control would mean all three points in the front court - correct?
The OP begins in the front court with actual team control in the front court.
His scenarios begin with team control in the back court. Team control is never established in the front court.
I don’t like the NF interpretation, but I don’t see how his scenarios are remotely similar?

Incorrect, on my cases. Even those team A has control of the ball in the backcourt, the instant team B (who is in the frontcourt) bats the ball, the ball gains FC status. Team control by Team A continues throughout this time since nothing that ends team control has occurred. This is because the ball location is determined by where the player is when touching the ball. With team B in the FC, the ball is in the FC the moment they touch it while in the FC. Team A does not need to be involved in giving the ball FC status.
Then, when the ball again touches team A, still in the BC, the ball would have been in the FC from team B's touch, but not returns to the BC when team A touches it again. By the interpretation, that would be a violation....a very silly violation not supported by the rules.
Now that I think about it, I might just rule that the "tap" by team B established team control for team B so that I wouldn't have to call a bogus BC violation.
