Tonight's zone meeting brought up this situation. NCAA rules: A4 is standing in the front court, his pass is deflected by B4 into the backcourt. When does the 10 second count begin? When the ball touches the backcourt or when the ball is touched by a team A player in the backcourt?

By rule the backcourt count starts when the ball gains backcourt status.
How do 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 9% of all officials do it? As soon as a player of Team A establishes player control of the ball in Team A's backcourt, the backcourt count starts.
