Therefore, you have a back court violation.

I agree, but would suggest a 4-point "checklist" that I learned on this board long ago to look at BC situations:

1) A has team control
2) Ball attaints front court status
3) A is the last to touch the ball before it attains back court status
4) A is the first to touch the ball after it attains back court status

I remember this in abbreviated version as "control, FC, last touch, first touch."

Incidentally, the new A.R. 19 in Rull 9-11 of this year's NCAA book almost exactly matches the original poster's situation.
