I'm not one for splitting hairs, but what if through some nasty act, a ball hit the line, and with reverse spin re-attained front court status by bouncing once in the front court and being recovered by Team A.
No violation, I think.
Yours and Mark's play is the exact scenario to which i'm referring. It is a violation as Team A last touched the ball before it "went to the backcourt" and Team A first touched the ball after it "went to the backcourt". Notice that Rule 9-9 (quoted above) doesn't stipulate that the ball have backcourt status when touched.
