Yet in case play 9.9.1B it it is not a back court if this happens off the jumpball?
Last years rule book had a defensive player, off jumpball, and from throw in listed as exceptions in 9.9.3.
Also it would seem that this could apply in college since they have team control on the throw in, but in HS we do not. The throw in rule is written the same now in HS and college.
What are your thoughts?

The exception to the rule only applies to the FIRST person to touch the ball on a throw in (or jump ball) - as that is when the throw in legally ends. If B2 would not have tipped it, A2 would be just fine. But because B2 tipped it, the throw in ended at that point and Team A secured control of the ball in mid air - in frontcourt status.
On the jump ball, A2 was the first to touch the ball. No violation.
