Rule 4-28-31 states::A pass is movement of the ball caused by a player who throws, BATS, or rolls the ball to another player. What I see is a "pass" to a teammate in the backcourt.

"Player control" is defined as holding or dribbling the ball.You have to hold or grasp the ball to attain player control,and thus team control.You are not holding the ball during a "tip". If you were,then there wouldn't be a rule in the book that says that you can score on a tip with 0.3 seconds left,or less to go in a period-but you can't score in the same situation when the shooter grabs the ball and shoots.Casebook play 5.2.5. What you saw was a ball directed or deflected to a teammate in the backcourt.
