Back court

Look at Article 1. Grammar tells me that it is referring to the location of the PLAYER when he touches the ball. The ball having FC status in article 1 isnt key to this issue. A player standing in the BC who touches a ball with FC status does not change the player's location. He is in the BC still. So while the ball has FC status when he touches it , that does not magically change the player's BC location. He is not in the FC so cannot be the last player IN THE FC to touch ball.

The mistake I see is interpreters are reading it to say last player to touch "a ball located in the FC." That's not what rule says.
