No, I'm not missing the point. I draw a distinction between the appropriateness of "over the back," and "offensive foul." The former is not a useful descriptor because of the difference between its denotation and connotation, and the respective relationships to the rulebook. In the case of the latter expression, however, no substantive conflict exists.

(Rhetorical question alert) In FED ball, if the team inbounding the ball commits a foul, is it an offensive foul? Certainly some fans (and coaches) would say it is, and wonder why it's treated differently than an "offensive foul" committed during "regular" action (as opposed to a throw-in -- I'm having a hard time describing this without using the term Team control.)
Heck, some fans and coaches would claim that a foul during rebounding action is an offensive foul.
