To answer this question you must understand Ball Location. Rule 4 Section 4 Article 2 states: A ball which is in contact with a player is in the frontcourt if neither the ball nor the player is touching the backcourt. 4.4.3 states: A ball which is in flight retains the same location as when it was last in contact with a player or the court. In your case if B1 had player location in the front court, even if he reached over to the backcourt, the 10 count ended once he touched the ball. Art N is correct an airborne pass breaking the plane of the division line would not end your 10 count. It would however end if the ball touched the floor in the front court. Casebook 9.8A and B cover this.
