Not A Stand Alone Statement ...

Whoa. Not so fast. Hold your horse justacoach. Although your statement (above) works for the original post, it should not be taken as a general statement, that works in all situations, especially if a young official is a little fuzzy on the definition of "backcourt status". For example, on a throw in, even though team control exists, an official doesn't start the ten second count when the ball hits the floor (bounce pass) in the backcourt, in fact, an official doesn't even start his ten second count when the ball touches an offensive player, the official starts his ten second count when the ball is possessed (holding or dribbling) by an offensive player.
