The ball was last in contact with a B player in the front court.
Rule 4-4-4- "A ball which touches a player or an official is the same as the ball touching the floor at that individual's location".
The ball last touched by B in the front court is now first touched by A in the back court.
Exactly what part of R9-9-1 or 2 did a team member of A violate?

Well, by 4-4-4, if the ball had front court status and then A "caused" the ball to obtain back court status by touching it, wouldn't that be a back court violation? The only way I can see A being able to recover it is if the ball touched the floor in the back court first (again, same as going out of bounds; A can't stand out of bounds and catch the ball)

What back court violation? That's what I'm asking you. Cite me a rule that states that an A player violated. Who was the last player to touch the ball by rule in the freaking front court? A B player, right? Now take a look at R9-9-1 or 2 and tell me what violation A could possibly make according to those rules by being the first to now touch it in the backcourt? Iow, use the rules to answer the question-not a dictionary.
