Ah...I didn't see 9-4.4: During a throw-in when the ball is located out of bounds and adjacent to a front-court boundary line, an inbounds teammate may cause the ball to go into the back court. That's the exception that takes care of things. Fortunately, I'd left open the possibility that I was wrong...
I think that they should get rid of part of the first clause in 9-4.4, so that it covers the case where thrower-in A1 is adjacent to a
back-court boundary line and A2, without gaining control, is in the front court and causes the ball to go into the back court without gaining control where it is touched by A3.
