court and catches the ball in the air. B2 lands with the first foot in the frontcourt and second foot in the backcourt. RULING: Backcourt violation on Team B. The throw-in ends with the deflection (legal touch) by B1. B2 gains possession/control and first lands in Team B’s frontcourt and then steps in Team B’s backcourt. The provision for making a normal landing only applies to the exceptions of a throw-in and a defensive player, and is only for the player making the initial touch on the ball. (9-9-1, 9-9-3)

Nevada is right about the initial touch stuff not applying to defensive players. Only throwin does it apply. I think it's likely bad grammar/sentence structure/sloppiness as opposed to a new interpretation etc.
Whomever, imo, is trying to say 1. Normal landing exception stuff applies only to throw in and defense. 2. Only for initial touch on throwin. (The play is a throwin that they are explaining.)
They're thinking about throwin but added statement in last sentence about defense which is not correct. sloppy writing and not thinking it all the way through.
