NFHS Rule 9-1-
"A player shall not be the first to touch a ball after it has been in team control in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt."
-From the OP:
- Did team A have team control in the frontcourt? -
YES!
- Was a team A player last to touch the ball in the frontcourt before it went into the backcourt?-
YES - A2!
- Was a team A player first to touch the ball in the backcourt? -
YES- A4!
All of the criteria necessary for a backcourt violation have been met, by rule.
Rules Rulz!
