I've read a lot of the backcourt scenarios and I've also read Mark Padgett's responses but here's one that puzzled me during a game I was coaching tonight.

Team A is inbounding at the division line. A1 throws the ball to A2 who is standing in the frontcourt. Ball bounces off A2 (he clearly wasn't paying attention at the time) and bounces into backcourt. A3 picks up ball in backcourt and official calls a backcourt violation.

I argued that team control had not been established following the inbound at the division line, therefore, no backcourt violation. Official told me after the game that he'd have to look it up to make sure. When I mentionned team control, it got him thinking.

So, what's the call guys.
