While I would agree that the ball achieved frontcourt status upon hitting the official, there is no team control, so I would say no violation.
Team control begins simultaneously with player control and continues until a shot is released, the other team secures control, or the ball becomes dead (violation, foul, timeout). Therefore, when A1 releases the ball on a pass, team control is still present (player control is not).
