There are three criteria that must exist for a backcourt violation to occur:
1. There must be team control.
2. The ball must be last touched in front court by a player from the team with team control.
3. After going into back court, the ball must be first touched by a player from the team with team control.

Those aren't the correct criteria -- #2 is wrong -- a team doesn not need to touch the ball in the front court before there's a violation.
The correct criteria:
1) Team control
2) Ball has front court status
3) Team A last to touch before ball goes to backcourt
4) Team A first to touch after ball goes to backcourt
How is that different? Play: A1, in the backcourt, throws the ball toward the front court with backspin. The ball hits in the front court and retunrs to the backcourt where A2 grabs the ball. According to Tim's criteria, it's not a violation (the play fails cirterion #2). According to the criteria I posted, it's a violation.
