In theory, theory and practice are the same.

In practice, they aren't.

About the question (ball left lying in backcourt for 10 seconds) -- while that specific play won't happen, you do need to know that the 10-second count starts.

B could be the last-to-touch, A could take 2 seconds to recover; B could press for 8 seconds ===> violation.
