I don't believe so.
I think that the criteria that crazy voyager laid out above are slighlty incorrect (at least for NCAA and FED -- FIBA might be different):
1) Team Control
2) Ball reaches the FC (note that player control in the FC is not required)
3) A last to touch before ball goes to BC (note that touching in the FC is not required)
4) A first to touch after ball goes to BC (note that touching in the BC is not required).
A simpler play that Nevada's second play is: A1 dribbles the ball into the FC and is trapped by the defense near the division line. A1 bounces a pass across the court to A2. The ball bounces on the division line and A2 then catches the ball while standing in the FC.
I'd have a violation on this play.
