mj is correct - remember the three elements of a backcourt violation in the order they must occur.

1. Team control
2. Last touched if front court by player of team with team control.
2. First touched in back court by player of team with team control.

What's missing here is the element of team control - the slap of the ball by B1 does not establish player control, therefore A still had team control. When B1 gained player control by dribbling in their own backcourt, only then was team control by B established.
