Tim,for NFHS games,why would you wait until the ball is regained by a player in the back court to start the 10 second count?According to Fed R9-8,the count starts when the player or team has continous control in the back court.The defense touching the ball does not break up the continuity of team control.The team would still have control when the ball is knocked back over the line,and that's when the count should start.
I think NCAA rules say team control too,if I remember right.
Btw,remember that if A tipped the ball into the back court after they had player or team control in the front court,it is a back-court violation as soon as they touch the ball,even though the 10 second count started as soon as the ball went back over the center line.
