There is no team control (NFHS) during a throwin until a player gains possession, that is holding, or dribbling the ball, thus, you were correct, no backcourt violation. Nice job on what is a tough call for nonofficials, and, unfortunately, a few officials.

Include yourself in the "unfortunate few officials"....it's a tough call for you too.
ABC in the original post said that a
pass was touched in the frontcourt. Not a
throw-in, a
pass.
The play as described is a backcourt violation. Ergo, missed call by ABC. Team control was established
before the
pass. The ball then achieved frontcourt status when it
touched the team B player standing in the frontcourt. The ball then went into the backcourt after touching the team B player and was touched by another team B player.
