Exact same train of thought for a shot....

There are four things that must happen in order to have a backcourt violation. You're missing the big one, which others have alluded to.
The backcourt and team control rules are poorly written and have caused headaches for those on this forum, including myself. However, the NFHS has made clear that, despite what the rule may or may not say, that team control must have been established inbounds in order to have a BC violation.
