Question: Player(team A)is in the backcourt sends a pass headed to the front court but is tipped by player(team B). Intended recipient of pass on (team A) has ball bounce off him as a result of the tipped pass and retreives the ball in the backcourt. Is this a backcourt violation?

I am going to the the fly in the ointment on this play because there as been two pages of postings and none of them are valid for the posted play because there is not enough information to make a ruling. The only thing that we know from the original posting is that A1 had player control of the ball in Team A' backcourt.
Before we can make an informed ruling on this play, we need to know where B1 was when he tipped the ball and where A1 was when the ball hit him before he retrieved it in the backcourt.
Play #1: B1 had backcourt status and A2 had backcourt status when the ball touched B1 and then touched A2.
Play #2: B1 had backcourt status and A2 had frontcourt status when the ball touched B1 and then touched A2 before touching in the backcourt and then being recovered by A2.
Play #3a: B1 had frontcourt status and A2 had backcourt status when the ball touched B1 and then touched A2 without touching the floor in the backcourt.
Play #3b: B1 had frontcourt status and A2 had backcourt status when the ball touched B1 and then touched A2, but only after touching the floor in the backcourt.
Play #4: B1 had backcourt status and A2 had frontcourt status when the ball touched B1 and then touched A2, and the ball touched in the backcourt and was recovered by A2.
