That would give the 10 second count some continuity!

Under NF, the count starts when team control is established in the backcourt. Team control is established when a player controls the ball. But team control does not end when player control is lost unless a shot is taken, B gains possession or the ball becomes dead. That's the only reason PC has any importance at all, because it establishes team control.
A count is started when A has team contol and the ball is in their BC. That is continuity.
Try this one.
A1 inbounds to A2 in the BC. A2 begins to dribble. He stops and passes the ball to A1, who is still in the BC. But B1 deflects the ball and the ball is loose in the BC. Do you keep counting or do stop the count?
