The ball has frontcourt status, and A2 has backcourt status.
Yes...
Is it not the same prinicple as inbounds/out of bounds.
There's a subtle difference. For OOB it is a violation to cause the ball to go OOB. (9-3)
For backcourt, it is a violation if Team A "last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt." (9-9)
While it is true that A2 caused the ball to go into the backcourt, A2 was not the last person to touch the ball in the frontcourt.
Therefore, no violation.
