Is this correct? I'm sure if it isn't I will be corrected (dragged over the coals).

Only true if (a) the ball hit the backboard and (b) A2 was the first to touch the ball after it did so.
Neither of those items is given in the original play.
On the OP -- since "everyone" was going the wrong way (I assume), then I'd let that action stand. When A3 gets the rebound and starts going the opposite way, that's the time to blow the whistle and get everyone turned around. A's ball on the sideline for a throw-in going the "right way", no basket.
