Let's look at the specific wording of 9-9-3:
[COLOR=blue] . . . A player from the team not in control (defensive player or during a jump ball or throw-in) may legally jump from his/her frontcourt, secure control of the ball with both feet off the floor and return to the floor with one or both feet in the backcourt.
The deflection does not change the fact that A is still not in control.
As I recall, the exception in Tony's quiz referred to a player from team A jumping from frontcourt, catching the throw-in while in mid-air, then passing it to a teammate in backcourt. Big difference, is it not?
