Happened to me last night. I think the best way to remember it, and to explain it, is to state that when the defense knocks the ball out, and the ball goes into the back court where it is touched by the offense, the defense never gains team control, therefore team control remains with the offense. It's easier than trying to explain that team control is not lost on an interrupted dribble.

P.S. I can understand that spectators don't know the rules, but coaches?
This is not about team control remaining with team A, nor about team control after an interupted dribble. Yes, team control is necessary however. I will try to quote several others here but mostly BasketBallRef,

1)team control
2)ball obtains FC status
3)ball then gains BC status
4)team in control last to touch in FC
Pretty close:
1) team control
2) ball obtains FC status
3) last to touch ball before it goes to BC
4) first to touch ball after it goes to BC
