Strange Play

[Forksref]

I had a similar situation this year: Throw-in near the time line. Ball hits leg of A player in front court and bounces into the back court where he picked it up and started dribbling. No violation as there was no control in the front court prior to the ball going to the back court. Of course, the throw-in was on the bench side, so I got to hear the usually "well-informed" coach tell me it was a violation.
