The scenario was not a throw-in, but a pass between two teammates that was deflected by the defense.
I agree, no loss of team control, count starts when ball enters backcourt...a rule I do not like. If we permit Team A to go into the backcourt to retrieve a ball deflected by the defense, it seems logical (at least to me) to wait until they secure control before starting a 10-count. But that's just me.
I had a play like this earlier in the year, and the Team A coach had a stroke because I started the 10-count "too early".
