That is the key question then. When does the ball achieve backcourt status? Once it crosses the division line? Once it hits in the backcourt or touches someone in the backcourt.
If you look at OOB, the ball is not out once it crosses the plane, but it has to hit OOB or hit someone or something OOB before it is called OOB. To be consistent I think you would have to use the same paramaters here. The ball can't achieve backcourt status until it hits the backcourt or someone or something in the backcourt.
If that is the case, then you need to ask yourself, "Can A2 be both the last person to touch in the frontcourt and the first person to touch in the backcourt all at the same time?" Personally, I don't think that they can and now I would have to go with B1 being the last person to touch in the frontcourt and no violation.
I think the FED may need to come up with a case play for this situation.
