It is a lot easier to use universal concepts rather than trying to remember 100 scenarios.

1. Is there team control inbounds (started by player control inbounds)?
2. Does the ball then have/gain FC status?
3. Is team A the last to touch BEFORE it returns to the BC?
4. Is team A the first to touch AFTER it returns to the BC?

No to any question means it is not a violation.

There are 3 listed exceptions that also make it no, but those need not be considered unless the above questions are all yes.

Adding that...

5. Was team control established by airborne player who lands with one or both feet in the backcourt from a jump ball, steal, or on a throwin?
