(6) Ten Second Half-Court Violation: Official "starts" the count once the ball is touched by a player on the court. The count continues until the offense has team control in their front court, not when a player releases the ball for a pass. A defensive player batting the ball away from the offensive player does not stop the count.
Another "problem" with the definition quoted above is the bolded statement which implies that the ball must touch a player in the front court. According to case play 9.8, the count terminates as soon as the ball has front court status....

parksaa,
Nope. Not a problem. Team control continues during the pass.
4-12-3.

Yes, team control continues during the pass, so if the count hits ten while the ball is in the air before it hits the frontcourt, it is a violation. However, if the ball hits the floor (or anything else, for that matter) in frontcourt before you get to ten seconds, you stop the count because the ball has achieved frontcourt status.
As stated above, case 9.8 clearly outlines both situations.
