Back Court violation?

NFHS rules being used BTW

A1 inbounding from the endline in A's FC. Ball is thrown to A2 but it is too hot of a pass and deflects off his hands into the BC. A3 grabs the ball in the BC and play continues with no call.

The guy I asked said this was proper since A2 never had control of the pass. I thought it should have been backcourt because A2 was the last to touch the ball in FC and A3 was the first to touch the ball in the BC.

Is this play a BC vilation?

The same play but instead of it being a throw-in, the orginal pass comes from just inbounds in the backcourt and now it is a backcourt violation.

Only if A2 is in his FC.

Correct, I worded it poorly. I should have said with all other factors the same as the orginal senario except the pass comes from inbounds in the backcourt.

What end of the court a throw-in originates has no bearing on BC violations. The ball has no front court or back court status when OOB.

I am aware of this. I was saying in the op senario it is not a backcourt violation due to it being a throw-in and player control had not been established. However if the person that threw the pass was inbounds making a normal pass instead of oob making a throw-in then you would have a backcourt violation even though the two passes originated from only a couple of feet apart.
