What player from team A in frontcourt touched the ball?

I submit that since both players were in the backcourt and no player from team A "touched or was touch by the ball" while in front court we have nothing.
Your submission is incorrect.

A does not have to touch the ball while in the FC. When the ball hit the floor in the FC, it gained FC status. The case play below:

4.4.4.
Play:
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: (a) goes out of bounds; or (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 (a), the ball is awarded to B for a throw-in. 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 Note)
