Yes.

4 criteria:

1) Team Control
2) Ball in Front Court (note that PC in the FC is NOT required)
3) A last to touch before ball goes to BC (note that A need not touch the ball in the FC)
4) A first to touch after ball goes to BC (note that A need not touch the ball in the BC)

"Exceptions" for throw-in, jump ball, defense
