Which is why the rule change was made to match what was being called — albeit incorrectly.

Again, by rule, it was NOT a violation. You have to change the words of the rule to get it to be a violation.
Team A was not the last to touch the ball BEFORE it returned to the backcourt (when Team A caught the deflection). Before is never the same time as the catch, it was the touch before that...the touch by B.
Were you the author of the bogus interpretation?
