The backcourt rule doesn't specify that the ball must be in
player control in the frontcourt before traveling to the backcourt. It only says
team control. The ball is in team control on a throw-in and continues to be in team control throughout the scenario.
In the scenario, the ball was in team control in the frontcourt (because it was touched by or touched the player in the frontcourt), then it traveled to the backcourt, where it was first touched by the player who was last in the frontcourt.
I'm still not seeing how the scenario doesn't meet all the qualifications for backcourt violation.
Team control (check)
Ball touches or is touched by player in frontcourt (check)
Ball travels to backcourt (check)
Ball is touched by player or team that was last to touch in frontcourt (check)
