A1 could land in the back court, could tap the ball into the back court chase it down & could pass the ball into the back court to another player without violating. The only way this would be a violationis if A2 also jumped in the air & A1 tipped or passed the ball to A2 & A2 landed in backcourt or passed to another team mate in backcourt.

Now if another player had tipped the ball prior to A1 touching or catching it, not even A1 could land in the backcourt because the throw-in ended & A1 now has frontcourt status when they jumped in the air.

In your play, no violation, play on.
Thanks

Oh, wow. You couldn't be more wrong. The exception does not state that A1 doesn't establish player/team control in the FC, it only states that he's allowed to land normally. You're just flat wrong about that.

Now, go read the case plays in 9.9.
