Had an offensive player tipped it in the FC on its way back, it would have been a violation under the old rules, and thus by intent of the committee; it would not, however, be a violation under a literal reading of 9-9-1.

I have a tipped ball in the front court by the defender. The pass is being thrown to the player in the corner and gets deflected by the defender.
So I have team control maintained throughout, no player control in the front court by the offense. And I have the defender causing the ball to go into the back court.
So I have a legal play, score the basket.
