My best guess here is that you really mean the 10 second backcourt count. It begins when there is team control on the floor. Team control is established when a player establishes player control. Player control is defined as a player holding or dribbling a ball inbounds.

So, if you really mean the 10 second backcourt count, it starts when an offensive player on the floor receives (not just touches, as in a deflection) the ball and is in that team's backcourt.
Mark -- The ball could be coming in under team A's (offensive) basket, rather than backcourt.
How does that pertain to what I said?
Well, if the ball comes in under A's basket, of course, the 10 second count isn't an issue, but the 3 second count is. Am I missing something here?
