I would say A2 never gained team control after the throw in and no backcourt violation. Am I correct

Based on what you said, A2 did gain control of the ball (team control and player control) but, only after the ball was in the backcourt. This of course is a Legal Play. The ball must be established in the frontcourt first,(frontcourt status) before going into the backcourt. This did not happen in this case. Keep in mind: When passing the ball from Out-of-Bounds, the location of the throw-in spot is not relavent to a backcourt violation (no control in the frontcourt). Here's the same thing as you described only the throw-in spot is in the backcourt: A1 is given a throw-in spot in front of visiting teams bench (his backcourt). A1 passes the ball to A2 in frontcourt. A2 tips or muffs the pass and it bounces into A's backcourt. A1 steps in bounds and picks up ball. This is Legal and it gets called a backcourt violation more often than not. The fun part is when you do not call it (and you got it right) and the coach behind you goes
NUTS !!!
