Wrong. If the ball is simply deflected by A2, there is no team/player control established in the frontcourt. Just like a try for goal that deflects off of B1, then A1, then goes in the backcourt. It can be retrieved by A with no violation.
You're thinking of the one where someone from Team B deflects it, then A2 jumps from frontcourt to backcourt and catches it in the air and lands. That is a violation.
