Team A was last to touch in the frontcort and was first to touch in the backcourt when they gained possession. A did not have team control in the frontcourt so would this be a backcourt violation? Hope you can understand the way I wrote this.

You are correct, no backcourt violation! Way to go on talking yourself through the logic behind the ruling!
