I know in this situation, if it had been B2 who tipped the ball instead of A2, it would be a backcourt violation.

My question is, is it a violation if it was tipped by the offense (A2) instead of the defense (B2)?
If you know that it's a violation in the case of B2 tipping the ball, then logic most certainly tells you that it's also a violation if you swap A2 for B2.
