How does 9.9.1 apply to this situation?

A1 in FC is pressured and passes to A2 near half court. Before A2 catches pass, B1 touches the ball. A2 tries to control ball and touches it before it goes in the BC and continues into BC before gaining control? I called it a violation. Right or wrong?

Does touch by B1 affect team control or is last touch by A2 in FC the determining factor, even though A2 didn't have control?

Violation, followed by a coronary by the team A coach.

If A2 is in the FC, then it's a violation.

In re to 9.9.1 if A1 is passing from under his own basket and A2 is out by the half court line, and A1 passes to A2 who is off balance. The ball is then deflected into the backcourt by A2 who can not control the pass,would this also be backcourt if A2 went to get the ball?

Depends. If A1 was in bounds when he made the pass, then you would have a backcourt violation. If A1 was making a throw-in from OOB under his own basket, then there's no violation because team A never established control in their frontcourt. See casebook play 4.12.6(b).
