This is the problem with the current wording, and their refusal (or inability) after three seasons now to fix the problem. The fix was easy, but for whatever reason, the won't do it. Now, as more years are passing since the rule change, more people will start applying the changes to backcourt violations and such.
That said, Backcourt violations are explicitly excluded within the BC rule. It now says PC status must be established in bounds before a violation can be called after a throw-in (I don't think it actually says "after a throw-in", but that was their intent).
