I don't really like it either, but I can see the justification.

But the rules about BC/FC also include a last to touch item which isn't part of the oob thing. Regardless of who touched it last, if you're standing on the boundary line when you touch the ball, then you've conferred your oob status onto the ball. But with BC, it only matters if your team was also the last to touch in FC, which in the case given Team A wasn't. B deflected it. I just don't understand what the heck they're playing at.
And the fact that B never gains team control is completely irrelevant, truerookie.
