I disagree with the previous posters. The ball still had frontcourt status when it was touched by A2 in the backcourt. Therefore, A2 caused the ball to go into the backcourt and a violation occured. This is clear under the wording of the NCAA rule and, although the Fed rule is written differently, I do not believe there is any diffence in interpretation of the two rules.

That's not correct, Stan. A player doesn't "cause" the ball to go the the backcourt by touching it there, like a player "causes" the ball to be OOB by touching it OOB.
A player "causes" the ball to go to the backcourt by being the last to touch it in the front court.
