help with over & back play

I will join in the discussion, if that is okay. When the last poster stated that "if B1 tipped the ball off A2" or words to that affect, he was referring to team control. Team A in the front court still is in control until they either attempt a try, or Team B clearly secures control or a dead ball situation occurs. So if Team B merely tips the ball, they have not secured control and if the tip touches a Team A member and then goes into the backcourt, then Team A members can not be the first to touch it in backcourt without it being a backcourt violation. I am referring to Chapter 4 Section 12; Art 3 and 4 of HS Rule book and Chapter 4, Sect 13, Art 3 of the NCAA Rulebook.
