To clarify your statement "intentionally playing a ball back to your keeper and that the keeper can't use his hands on said play"
The direction (back) is immaterial. The goalkeeper may not handle the ball in his own penalty area when it has been played deliberately (not a deflection) by a teammate. The result is an indirect free kick for the opposing team.
