9-9-1
A player shall not be the first to touch a ball after it has been in team control in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt.

This passage tells us what we need to know. It makes no difference whether the ball is touched in the backcourt, only that A1 is the first to touch AFTER it's been in the backcourt.

Example:
I'm standing in the FC, holding the ball. I bounce pass to you, the ball hits the division line, you catch the ball while completely standing in the FC. Is this a BC violation? Look at the rule above. Darn tootin' it is.
