OK, same scenario. In A's frontcourt, A-1's attempt to pass to A-2 is deflected into A's backcourt by B-1. Now you two say that once the ball touches the backcourt, that a new 10-second count begins?
Correct.
If I am right in my understanding, my question is why not wait until Team A, for lack of a better word, REGAINS possession (even though they really never lost it), before restarting a 10-second count.
For better or for worse, the Rules, as written, have us start the count as soon as there is team control in the backcourt, not player control.
Tell me the difference between that scenario and this one I am about to throw at you:...Meanwhile A-1 is about to inbound the ball...
There is no team control during an inbound pass, thus no ten-second count.
Similarly, if A1 in-bounds the ball from their frontcourt, the ball is touched, but not controlled, by A2 in the frontcourt causing the ball to bounce into the backcourt, Team A can still go recover the ball in the backcourt without violating. Why? Because they didn't have team control...
