The back court exception applies only on throw-ins. When A2 jumps from the front court, he is still in front court until he lands in back court or OOB. When he catches the ball, he establishes player control and therefore team control at that moment. When he lands in back court, it is a violation because all four requirements of a back court violation are met:
1) the ball has achieved front court status (it did when he caught it while he, technically (no pun intended), was in the front court
2) there is team control
3) the team in team control is last to touch the ball in the front court
4) that same team is first to touch the ball after it has been in the back court (which it was when he landed in the back court holding the ball)
