From the NBA's website.
Quote:
Rule 4, Section XVII-Team Control
A team is in control when a player is holding, dribbling or passing the ball. Team control ends when the defensive team deflects the ball or there is a field goal attempt.

So the play in question is not a backcourt violation in the NBA, but IS a violation under NFHS and college rules.
