Basically that is my point. Now that they have to fix the wording for backcourt violations they can also add similar wording to the 10-second backcourt rule to make it clear player control must occur at some point before a 10-second violation can occur.

10-second backcourt violations, backcourt violations, and 3-second violations all need to have player control established at some point prior to the violation, so keep the wording consistent.
