When the ball is controlled in the backcourt.

But say the ball stops, how long do you wait for them to establish possession? What if the player just stands there and waits for the coach to finish yelling out instructions?

Then you just wait until the ball is possessed. Also, see post #15:

But this is only if neither team is going to grab the ball. If A is awaiting instructions and B is playing a packed in defense and waiting for A to move, you have to judge whether A is intentionally allowing the game to develop into an actionless contest.

In other words, it will probably never happen to you.

Put more accurately, when a ball under team control enters the backcourt.

Think of A1 in the frontcourt making a pass to A2, but the pass is deflected into the backcourt by B1. The 10 second count should start as soon as the ball strikes the floor in the backcourt.
