To answer both quotes, the definition of 10 count is when player or team is in control of ball in the backcourt. Just because the ball was batted by team B, does Team A lose team control of ball?

Jugref, my sit is not about a throw-in.
I know your situation isn't about a throw-in. But the principals still apply. It's about knowing to separate TC and BC status as independent events.

The belief is that A had TC and once the ball hits the BC, start the count - not waiting until A has PC in the BC.
