Under the current NFHS rule, you most definitely have to interpret how/why the ball got in the backcourt. With the NCAA rule, once the defense deflects the ball, you no longer have to worry about BC scenarios.

With the NCAA rule, it was my understanding that cause mattered -- you have to interpret whether the deflection "causes the ball to go into the backcourt" or whether it goes into the backcourt for some other reason.

I see that as different from the determination as to who touched it last in the FC. Your not interpreting what caused the ball to go into the backcourt -- All you have to see to make the correct call is who touched it last in the FC.
