Backcourt Violation?

I know in this situation, if it had been B2 who tipped the ball instead of A2, it would be a backcourt violation.

My question is, is it a violation if it was tipped by the offense (A2) instead of the defense (B2)?

You got a lot happening here.

Okay upon the legal touching of the ball by either A2 or B2 the throw-in has ended. So as A3 last had front court status and control of the ball, while in the air, thus giving the ball front court status, then landing in the backcourt, we have a backcourt violation.

How did I do?
