Yes, but the ball bounced in the BC. This play is a violation.

In the second, no team control exists, so there can be no backcourt violation.

Right ruling (no violation), wrong reason. TC exists as soon as A1 caught the ball. All the conditions of a BC violation are met, and this would be a violation except for the exception in the rules.
