Actually, A2 doesn't gain player control unless he/she holds or dribbles the ball inbounds.

I believe he intended to type:
thus
A has gained control of the ball in the frontcourt.

In fact, A2 doesn't even have to touch the ball. If A1 standing in the backcourt tosses the ball in the air with backspin. The ball bounces in the front court and rolls back to A3, who is in the back court. This is a violation. (It's not a violation if A1 retrieves the ball, since then this is A1's dribble, which means that the ball doesn't attain front court status until both of A1's feet and the ball touch the front court.)
Confused now?

How do you reconcile your statement that I've highlighted in
red with the following case book play:
BALL TOUCHES AN OFFICIAL
4.4.4 SITUATION: The official is in Team A' s frontcourt when he/she is contacted by a pass thrown by A1 from Team A' s backcourt. After touching the official, the ball: ...(b) rebounds to the backcourt where it is recovered by A2. Ruling: Touching the official is the same as touching the floor where the official is standing. ... In (b), the ball has been in the frontcourt and then has gone to the backcourt while in Team A' s control.
It is a violation for A1 to cause the ball to go from A' s backcourt to frontcourt and return to backcourt untouched if
A1 or a teammate is first to touch it after it has returned to backcourt. (9-9-2)
Looks like the NF does NOT consider an errant pass to be the start of a dribble if A1 recovers the ball since this case clearly says it is a backcourt violation.
