1. Team control?
2. Ball (not player)has FC status?
3. Team A last to touch the ball before the ball returns to the backcourt.
4. Team A first to touch after ball returns to the backcourt.
If any are no...no violation.
#1. Yes...clearly since A1 was dribbling up to this point.
#2. Yes. Since the 3-point exception only applies during dribbler, the fumble causes the ball to be in the FC when it bounces.
#3. Yes. Prior to the fumble.
#4. Yes. After the fumble.

I'm in total agreement with points #1 & #2, but please help me to understand how the ball returns to the backcourt, I don't read that in the post.

The player, say A1, is straddling the line and has the ball, then fumbles. The ball hits the frontcourt. The ball is now in the frontcourt. The ball attains backcourt status when A1, still straddling the line, recovers the fumble. A1 is in the backcourt, A1 touches the ball, hence the ball is in the backcourt as well.
A1 was the last to touch before the ball returned to the backcourt, and A1 was the first to touch when the ball returned to the backcourt.
