Yes,
I believe that the official was correct in this situation. Due to the fact that team mate A2 was considered in the backcourt when contact with the ball was made caused the ball to be in backcourt. Now had the player jumped from front court and slapped the ball back into front while his/her body was completely over back court but never in contact with the floor.
We have nothing more than a good hustle play.
Think about the out of bounds rule.
A player hit with the ball with out of bounds causes the ball to be out of bounds.
I would think the same logic applies here.
