You'll note, it doesn't say "first to touch the ball in the backcourt."

Key phrase: (paraphrasing) Cannot be first to touch ball after it gains backcourt status after having team control in frontcourt.

Read these carefully:

A must be the last to touch while the ball has frontcourt status; and

A must be the first to touch after the ball has backcourt status.

You have to read what it says has to happen, and also realize what it doesn't say. A must be the first to touch after the ball has backcourt status, but it doesn't say the ball must still have backcourt status when it's touched.
