Whether the ball was caught(came to rest) is and will always be a judgment call to be made by the official responsible for that determination. If he says it wasn't caught, then it wasn't(whether it was caught in somebody else's judgment) and therefore there was no player control and no backcourt violation.

All you're doing now is arguing that your judgment is better than the calling official's judgment. And that's an argument that is impossible for you to win...or lose.

The only thing that is for sure though is that the calling official's judgment is gonna prevail...no matter what.
