Again, the point is the defender doesn't have to give *any space* according to the rule once the pass is caught. Why do you even mention "2 steps"?

The receiver doesn't have to run looking back over his/her shoulder. The fact that the player is not looking where they are going doesn't absolve them of contact of a defender jumps into their path after they look away.

If the ball is thrown from behind a player as he runs down the court, how is
he going to catch it if he doesn't look back?
