I would end the 10-second count and begin a new one when the ball contacted the court in Team A’s backcourt.
My test scenario for proof of this is what would you do if B2 used his knee to deliberately deflect the pass?
I would award Team A a throw-in at the 28 foot line in their frontcourt as I believe that B2’s location is on that half of the court.

Nevadaref, I had the same thought process as you. I was outnumbered when discussing the play. I let it go. Thus my reason for posting the play.
Some higher ranked officials were saying Team A had control, so B2 was in Team A's backcourt. They were using Team Control as a factor for determining Ball status.
