BktBallRef, that is what I was not sure of. I knew his status was still backcourt since he was not completely over. I just did not know that the fact that the ball bounced in the frontcourt before he got control made a difference.
1st two point for backcourt violation are team control and ball must achieve frontcourt status. Question was must control come 1st?

Think about it this way.
On a throw in, A1 throws a bounce pass to A2, who is standing in the back court. The pass first bounces in the front court before A2 catches it in the BC. No violation.
Team control must be established in the front court for the violation to occur.
