So what is the right decision here? In FIBA rulebook there is:
30.1.2 The ball has been illegally returned to the backcourt when a player of the team in control of the live ball is the last to touch the ball in his frontcourt, after which that player or a team-mate is the first to touch the ball in the backcourt.
and
14.1.1 Team control starts when a player of that team is in control of a live ball by holding or dribbling it or has a live ball at his disposal.
You answered your own question. 30.1.2 says that team control is needed. In the video you provided, the team in red does not have team control. So it was not a violation.
