I agree this is not a violation and I saw a funny one this season kind of dealing with this. Team A had control in their frontcourt. A Team B player knocked it away, it bounced in the frontcourt toward the backcourt in the air. The Team A player ran back and got right to the ball and then waited for it to bounce in the backcourt before he picked it up. I don't in any way believe he knows this rule interpretation, but it was still kind of funny because I remembered the conversation about this on this forum before. The Team B player was running after it too and almost got to it first. That play really shows why it isn't fair to Team A to make them wait to pick it up, even though the B player is the one who knocked it into the backcourt in the first place.
