I am 99% sure that is over and back, but what does it take for A2 to be extablished in the front court? One foot, two feet?
When dribbling from the backcourt to the frontcourt the ball doesn't have frontcourt staus until both of the players feet are in the frontcourt and the ball bounces in the frontcourt.

In your play as soon as the "A" player picked up the ball and neither one of his feet is touching the backcourt, he established frontcourt/team control status.
