Count continues until the ball acquires frontcourt status for the team in control. So if the defense dislodges the ball but does not gain control, count continues until the defense gains control [in which case they are probably already in their frontcourt] or the offense gets the ball into their frontcourt; if the defense gains control and then loses control, a new 10-count is begun.
A pass in which the 10-count ends while the ball is in the air but "over the frontcourt itself" would still count as a violation because the ball maintains backcourt status until it touches the frontcourt.
For the dribbler coming from the backcourt to the frontcourt, the count continues until both the ball and the dribbler's two feet have acquired frontcourt status.
Did I miss anything?
