Agree.

Am I missing something obvious? The tip by B2 ends the throw-in, but doesn't end the exception for a player on defense. Does it? I feel like this has to be something obvious that I'm overlooking.
I agree with you. This is a defensive player. The tip doesn't change that.

Yes, we had a long discussion of what constituted a "defensive" player during situations without team control. I took the position that team control was required to have an offense and a defense. At that time, NFHS rules did not have team control during a throw-in for the throwing team. This has since been added to the rules in a change.
However, I also seem to recall that the language previously used in the text of the backcourt rule was different. It said something about "a player from a team not in control may..." If that was the case, then B2 would not have committed a violation under that wording and since the NFHS stated that it was not seeking to alter any backcourt rulings when adding team control during a throw-in, the same ruling should apply today.
I will need to do a little research before giving my final opinion on this matter.

Agreed with you then and still agree with you now. BEFORE does not mean SIMULTANEOUSLY.
