A1 throws in to A2. A2 jumps from the frontcourt, catches the pass in the air. While still in the air, B1 dislodges the ball, which then begins bouncing in the frontcourt toward the backcourt. A2 attempts to re-secure control of the ball, but instead knocks the ball into the backcourt, where he then recovers it.
Violation?

A2 secures team control and establishes the ball location as frontcourt. B1's dislodgement maintains the ball's location in frontcourt without ending A's team control. If A2 is in frontcourt and knocks it to backcourt then retrieves it, it's a violation as he becomes both last to touch and first to touch. If he's in backcourt when he touches it, it's a violation immediately. You might suggest that B1 was the last to touch it before it went to backcourt, but that would not be correct. A2 became simultaneously the last to touch it before it went to backcourt, and the first to touch it once it did.
