Backcourt and Block-Charge Play (video)

Rather easy to tell the offensive player made last touch on slo-mo replay, so BC violation upon review.

Play 2: The L would have had a great view if the defender moved laterally into the shooters space. I have no problem with a PC foul here. L gave a preliminary signal right away, so I guess he was sure of what he had. If I'm C here I have no problem with L taking that call from me.

I believe the powers that be want us to be very liberal in regards to what a deflection by the defense causes. That is evidenced by the fact that they extended the rule after the season started to include in the exception when the offense is in the back court and a defensive player deflects the ball into the front court that touches an offensive player then is recovered by the offense in the back court.

The question I have from high school land is the ball never goes into the backcourt itself until it's touched by the player who is in the backcourt. Does that exception still apply in that case then?

Clarification, I'm asking for the NCAA ruling.
