Ruling is backcourt.

This says that when A2 touched it in the frontcourt, even though they didn't "posses" the ball, that touching constituted player control, and this is a backcourt. But in the OP, it is a throw in and since there is no player control during a throw in I would say it isn't a backcourt.

Yes, there is. Note that they removed "inbounds" from 4-12-1 a couple of years ago.

(It doesn't change your ruling, though.)
