New rule? New about 70 years ago..... :)
Yes, it's a backcourt violation. An A player was the last to touch it in the frontcourt...and an A player was the first to touch it in the backcourt.

70 years ago, JR was consulted about the philosophies to the game this rule would have.
I believe the controversial part was A's intent. One version was if A intended the ball to go back to the BC, and was the first to touch it, it is a violation. If there was no intent, no violation. The other flavour was taking out the intent, making it the rule we know now.
