Assuming A1 threw the pass from the backcourt into the frontcourt where B1 batted it back to A1 in the backcourt, there is no violation. Team A never had player control in the frontcourt. That one is not controversial...it's easy.

What's the correct call in these two situations. I don't want to join in the argument, I just like to start one and sit back and watch !!!
A still never had player control in the frontcourt, so this isn't a violation either the way you've described it. Try again.
