Though I personally like Ms. Struckhoff's interpretation, it is contridicted by the wording in FED rule 9-9.1:
A player shall not be the first to touch a ball after it has been in team control in the frontcourt, if he/she or a teammate last touched or was touched by the ball in the frontcourt before it went to the backcourt.
The current FED wording makes no mention of the play becoming legal if the balls itself regains f/c status.
I myself would like to see the rule changed so that the play is legal. But until then I would have to rule it a b/c violation.
There is really no debate for the NCAA interpretation b/c the A.R. specifically cites this play as a violation.
