Legal? Illegal?

When A1 gained control of the ball, s/he was in the front court, so the ball gained front court location at that point and Team A gained control. It doesn't then matter that A1 lands with a foot in the frontcourt first. Either way, foot down or direct flight to the backcourt, it's a backcourt violation. There is no 'exception' for this case.
