I am not hanging anything on that. I was guessing that folks thinking once a player was in FC dribbling, if he simply stepped on the line or dribbled ball on the line it wasn't a violation. I was guessing they were saying it took 3 parts to go back to BC.

My point all along is that 3 parts is a rule to put you in FC. Once you're in it, that rule is over. A player dribbling is in control of ball. If he steps on line or dribbles on it he's violated. Caused ball to be in BC etc
