In Rule 9,9,1 you have to assume that the player in front court went into backcourt to retreive the ball and then you have a backcourt violation!
Sorry, kycat, but you are wrong. There's no requirement in the rule that the ball be touched in the backcourt, or that the ball have backcourt status when it's touched. Only that the ball did go from the FC to the BC and team A was the last to touch and the first to touch (see above in the thread for the specific criteria).
