Ruling: In scenario A, the official will be ruling this as a backcourt violation. In scenario B, this is not a backcourt violation.

I disagree the the B ruling.

If I'm correct, what could the well respected presenter possibly be confusing this with?

Am I missing something here?

Billy:

I agree with you. Backcourt Violation in both (A) and (B). The Ball acquired Front Court Status the moment that A3 touched the Ball, and no matter with which Court (Front or Back) first in B, the moment A3's foot touched in Team A's Backcourt Team A has committed a BC Violation.
