Backcourt violation?

[VaLadyRef]

A1 dribbling in frontcourt when B1 interrupts the dribble (but never establishes control). A1 trys to recover the ball. In the process the ball deflects off of the leg of A1 into the backcourt. A1 goes into the backcourt and recovers ball.

I called a backcourt violation. I was discussing this with another official who seemed to think that this was not a violation, due to team control being lost.

What do you all say?
