This is not a violation.
In fact, there might be a foul called there.
But you are correct, the criteria required to call a backcourt violation have not been met, as the ball did not ever enter the backcourt. Sure, frontcourt status had been acheived, and the team A player was the first to touch the basketball, but it was after *he* was in the backcourt, not the ball, so I got nothing, except maybe some damage control if a foul wasn't called.
