At least that is how I now understand the rule after reading the new case play posted by Scrapper.

Because if the play doesn't qualify as one of the three exceptions then it is obviously a violation. That is all that I am saying.
JAR understands the basics of the backcourt rule. He is struggling to know when a play qualifies for the "defensive player" exception.

On this deflected throw-in, is B1 still considered a defender or not?

I can't answer that question at this time. I haven't seen the new rules or case book yet and don't know what the NFHS has written.
Perhaps they've decided that when one team has team control then the players on the other team are "defensive" players.
Perhaps there can be "defensive" players during a throw-in even though there is no team control by definition because one team clearly has the ball. Perhaps not.
Right now, I just don't know what to tell you.
Perhaps Tony can provide the answer. He seems to know exactly what the NFHS is thinking on this backcourt stuff.
